Junior Gym

Junior Gym is a supervised session where 11 to 16 year olds can access the gym and get active under the supervision of our Health & Fitness Assistants. During the session they’ll receive support and guidance and undertake a wide range of gym exercises with emphasis on having fun and keeping fit.

Junior Gym sessions are delivered at all NL Active gyms, and you can find the sessions below and on our fitness timetables. Places cost £5 and can be booked online, by phone, or in person at the centre you’d like to attend. Payment will be taken at the time of booking.

All new Junior Gym customers will need to complete a four-week induction programme led by qualified fitness instructors before joining the sessions. Each week of the four-week course focuses on a different element of fitness: 

  • Week 1: Getting comfortable with cardio machines
    You’ll learn how to use things like treadmills, bikes and cross‑trainers, and find out which ones you enjoy.
  • Week 2: Learning to use resistance machines safely
    We’ll show you how to use the strength machines properly, so you can build muscle without hurting yourself.
  • Week 3: Trying out functional training
    This week you’ll explore fun exercises that help your body move better in everyday life, like using light weights, medicine balls or body‑weight movements.
  • Week 4: Your own personalised gym plan
    By now, you’ll know what you enjoy. We’ll put together a simple gym programme designed just for you to help you keep improving.

The induction costs £30 for the four weeks and must be completed before attending regular Junior Gym sessions. The induction courses can be booked by popping into a centre or telephoning 01724 291900 Payment will be taken at the time of booking.
