Inductions
In order to use the Tone Zone you will be required to undertake an induction, during which you will be shown the correct use of the fitness equipment in order to gain an understanding of how to use the equipment safely and obtain the maximum benefits from your workout.
During the session you will have the opportunity to try the equipment so please bring appropriate clothing and flat shoes or trainers with you.
As well as the induction or familiarisation session, customers can arrange for a personal health check or for a personal training programme to be created for them.
We recommend that all customers have a personal programme created and have their programme reviewed by a member of staff every six weeks.
Inductions, health checks and programme reviews are available throughout each day and can be booked at reception.
If you are intending to use the gym at least twice a week then please consider one of our membership packages. Our cheapest package starts from just £5.00 a week for use of the gym, exercise classes and swimming.
