Brand new weights Studio Equipment The studio will be kitted out with additional bars and weight plates to make sure that there's always enough equipment available during classes.

Listening to Our Members A lot of these improvements have come about as a results of listening to our members. And to keep us on the ball when it comes to making these sorts of improvements where they're most needed, we've recently started sending out member satisfaction surveys. A big thank you to everyone who received a survey and took the time to complete it. Your feedback is really important to us. We'll continue to send out member satisfaction surveys on an on-going basis to make sure we're doing our best to listen to you.
