Gyms

Welcome to Healthworks Gym!

Welcome to Healthworks Gym, where fitness is friendly, inclusive, and accessible to everyone.

Our low-cost membership plans ensure that you can enjoy a wide range of activities suitable for all ages and fitness levels without breaking the bank.   At Healthworks Gym, nobody judges – whether you’re a seasoned gym goer or just beginning your fitness journey, our supportive community and welcoming atmosphere make it the perfect place to achieve your health goals.

Gym sessions are an hour in length and are available between the following hours on the following days:

8 am to 8 pm Mondays to Fridays

9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays

Our fully equipped gyms are relaxed and friendly and one of our trained members of staff can complete an induction with you to establish a plan suitable for you where appropriate.

Get fit and support our work at the same time!

The other great thing about joining our gym, or coming to one of our fitness classes, is knowing that when you do, you are supporting a local charity and helping improve the health and wellbeing of other local people at the same time!

“Before coming to Healthworks Gym I was at rock-bottom both mentally and physically. My partner Tammy suggested coming to the gym together, but I was very reluctant and worried about joining. I thought gyms were just for young fit people and that people wouldn’t speak to each other.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. I found it a welcoming, friendly Gym which was a pleasure to come to. The staff were so supportive and motivating throughout. There’s a really good social aspect too and I have got to know lots of new people.

It has been truly life-changing and I am so much fitter, happier and healthier as a result. I’d urge anyone to come along and reassure them that the hardest piece of gym equipment is the front door and once you conquer that you won’t look back!”

 

Gym Inductions

We recommend all new members complete a gym induction before using the gym.
