Weight training

From free weights to static weights, our range of equipment is strong.

Whether you’re looking for dumbbells & kettlebells or a chest press or leg curl machine, our clubs are a one-stop source for muscle building.  

We’ve also introduced a new Freestyle area of the club where you can try out new equipment for the first time away from the hustle and bustle of the gym 

What is weight training?

Weight training is a form of exercise where weights and the force of gravity combine to build and strengthen skeletal muscles.

To fully benefit from weight training a workout should include three key elements

• Resistance – the weight
• Repetition – literally repeating the same movement to fatigue
• Recovery – a rest period between sets

How could it help you?

Weight lifting is for everybody. Whether your ultimate goal is to beat your dad at arm-wrestling, recover from an injury or look like Arnie, weight lifting will help you cross that finish line.

The major benefits include

• Increased muscle & bone strength
• Increased power
• Shapes your body
• Burns fat

Do it with friends

If you’re new to weight training or prefer working out in a group, try one of our fantastic strength building studio classes including Body Pump and Tone where the instructor will guide you through the equipment and exercises.

And to complement your weight training, we stock a range of nutritional drinks and supplements at reception.
