INSTRUCTORS
All classes are taught by professional instructors with recognised qualifications. They can help and advise on specific needs and fitness objectives.

LEVELS OF INTENSITY
Most classes are suitable for all levels of fitness - but may vary in complexity. We recommend that participants always work at their own level, as low impact alternatives are incorporated into most classes. Suitable clothing is recommended and suitable footwear MUST be worn. Customers who suffer from any known medical condition are advised to seek medical advice before participating and should inform the instructor of any such conditions or injuries BEFORE THE CLASS BEGINS.

BOOKING & PAYMENT
Booking is recommended for most casual sporting activities and classes and can be done up to and including 7 days in advance with an I card. You can book in person at any of the centres, by phone or online. You can pay per visit for all our activities or as a regular user you can save money with our monthly I card. Details on all these prices can also be found on theI card page.
