b-active gym
We have gyms in all three of our sports centres. They are a great place to help you to achieve your fitness and wellbeing goals, whatever your age or fitness level. Our Technogym equipment is suitable for both disabled and non disabled people to work out together.
We have gyms in all three of our sports centres:
What's new in the b-active gyms?
We have Movement sessions for 12 to 16 year olds, and we will soon be starting 15-minute Fast Classes, personal training, and health and fitness testing. Ask a member of staff for more information, or pick up a leaflet from our sports centres.
Gym challenges
We are running fun, motivational challenges in our gyms throughout the year. Ask a member of our wellbeing team for more information.
How old do I need to be to use the gym?
Young people aged 12 to 16 years old can join up as a Movement member to use our gyms in our supervised and fully supported sessions, or go outside Movement sessions with an adult b-active gym user (over 18 years old). You must be 14 years old to use our resistance weight machines, and 16 years old to use our free weights.
Movement gym sessions take place Monday to Friday, 4pm to 6pm, Saturday, 9.00am to 12 noon, and Sunday, 2.00pm to 6.00pm and cost £1 a session, and £2.80 at other times.
Find out more about The Movement sessions, visit The Movement's website.
Do I need to be a member to use the gym?
Adults do not need to be a member to use our gyms, you can pay as you go. You willl need to have an induction before you can use our gyms for the first time and you will need to purchase a Wellness Key. You may find you would save money if you take out a bfit membership.
Inductions and the Wellness Key are free to bfit 'gym' members. If you decide to become a bfit member at a later date, you will not be refunded for this induction session.
