Why Group Exercise? Research suggests that group exercise releases endorphines, causing you to feel happy and triggering the same responses as dancing or laughter. If you struggle to motivate yourself to head to the gym alone then finding some workout buddies could be just what you need to make exercise a fun part of your lifestyle.

Swim Academy
We offer an all year round swim programme designed to encourage continual progression. Our swimming lessons are based on the National Plan for Teaching Swimming, a framework produced by the Amateur Swimming Association. Progress and skill development will be recorded during each lesson, ensuring pupils’ abilities are continually monitored. When a swimmer meets the criteria of their current level they will be informed and be able to book onto the next level at reception, subject to availability.

Beginners This is the starting point for children to attend lessons without their parents, aiming to take instruction and improve water confidence.
Stage 1 This stage is concerned with developing basic safety awareness, the ‘class’ scenario, basic movement skills and water confidence skills. Swimmers may use aids such as arm bands or floats.
Stage 2 This stage focuses on developing safe entries to the water, including jumping in, basic floating, travel on the front and back up to a distance of 5 metres, and rotating the body to regain an upright position.
Stage 3 Concerned with developing safe entries into the water - including submersion - travel up to 10 metres on the front and back, and progressing water safety knowledge and body rotation skills from the previous stage. Stage 3 also sees the swimmer being assessed without the use of aids or support.

Stage 4
Stage 8
This stage aids the learner in developing the understanding of buoyancy through a range of skills. Also covered is refining kicking techniques for all strokes. The swimmer also has to swim 10 metres to a standard directed by the ASA.
An introduction to competitive swimming that develops speed and endurance over 400 metres.
Stage 5
Having completed the previous 8 stages these sessions will continue to improve stamina and swimmers will be able to complete the challenge awards: Bronze, Silver and Gold.
During this stage, swimmers develop ‘watermanship’ through sculling and treading water skills and complete body rotation. They also perform all strokes for a distance of 10 metres to a standard provided by the ASA within the ASA Learn to Swim Framework.
Stage 6 Developing effective swimming skills including coordinated breathing across all strokes is the focus of this stage. Learners also have to swim a distance of 25 metres using a stroke of the swimmer’s choice. Children also learn about aspects of water safety and about preparing properly for exercise.
Stage 7 During this stage, children develop quality stroke techniques up to 100 metres incorporating the skills they have learnt, and combine them to develop a linked routine. It combines a variety of skills accomplished through stages 1 - 7.

Personal Training
Why personal train? If you want to get more from your gym membership, and the limited time you have available to exercise, then personal training could be the answer. Many people who train to a regular routine don’t realise that after a while their bodies adjust to their workouts and the benefits you are getting start to decrease. By working with a personal trainer you can not only learn new techniques, exercises and routines, but they can also act as an objective eye. We all have particular areas of our body that we would like to develop and personal trainers can tell
Want to get more from your gym membership? Ask at reception for more details on our fantastic personal training offers which will be sure to give you the best workout possible.
you realistically what to expect with each workout, but also how to optimise a session to target different muscle groups. Personal trainers will push your limits and ensure you get the most from your time in the gym, whilst also holding you accountable! It’s much harder to justify cancelling an appointment with a personal trainer than just your own time at the gym. All of our Platinum or Active Combo members can take advantage of our great personal training offer; 5 sessions for just £99!

Cardio Gym
QUEEN ELIZABETH LEISURE CENTRE
Sauna & Steam Room
Not only do saunas and steam rooms both increase the heartbeat and improve circulation, they also have their own individual health benefits ranging from minimising joint pain to softening the skin.
Sauna
The heat from the sauna soothes your nerve endings and warms and relaxes muscles, in turn relieving the tension from your body and minimising joint pain. A calming environment which will alleviate stress and help induce sleep. Not only that, the heat from the sauna helps the body release endorphins, a feelgood chemical that promotes feelings of wellbeing.
Steam Room
The steam room can increase metabolism, aiding with weight loss, but also improves breathing by opening up the airways. Great for detoxification as it can help cleanse the whole body through an increased body temperature and an increase in sweating.
FREE to Platinum Members Casual user £4.60
Inductions
All gym users are required to complete an induction to ensure they are using the equipment safely and effectively and are getting the most from their workout. Inductions include:
Fit Kids
