Adult Fitness

We offer swimming lessons to all abilities, with our qualified Swimming Teachers, and Aqua Fitness classes and online Personal training programs with our very own qualified Personal Trainer

Adult swimming Lessons

We offer adult swimming lessons from those who are fearful of the water to those who want to improve their strokes and build stamina.

We have small classes and experienced swimming teachers and coaches so can design a bespoke program of learning to meet your requirements

Aqua Fitness

We have group Aqua Fitness sessions once a week with our Personal Trainer, Rich, who adapts the workout to work for each attendee.

This is a easily accessible, great, non weight bearing, low impact workout which will build strength and improve mobility.

Personal Training

Now we have Rich on the team we have opened up our offerings to include both Face to Face and Online Personal Training packages.

The online coaching offers a flexible alternative to face to face training sessions, it i allows you to train at the time, and on the days you want from the gym of your choice or even in your own home, and it’s cheaper too.

Plans will be developed and delivered to you, via an app,to fit your specific requirements and will be reviewed regularly and can include a Nutrition plan.

Of course if you prefer face to face this can be offered at Pure Gym in Kingsway.
