Gym

NL Active gyms have a variety of equipment to help you achieve your fitness goals, and our Health & Fitness Assistants are on hand to offer support and advice to help you plan a personalised workout programme to keep you on track.

You can visit NL Active gyms as a pay-as-you-go customer, or if you’re a frequent visitor a membership will save you money. You can learn about our membership options on our membership page and you’ll also find a handy calculator to show you how much money a membership will save you.

You can use the gyms from 14 years old independently as a NL Ignite member after a full induction has been attended and a waiver has been signed. Without a waiver you will need to be accompanied by an adult until the age of 16.

Juniors aged 11 to 16 can attend supervised Junior Gym inductions following a four-session induction.

Find details of our gyms on our locations page.

How much support from us do you need before using the gym? Take a look at the options below to see which one suits you best. Our induction and refresh appointments are free of charge and just need to be booked with the front of house team at the gym you’d like to visit.

Quick start

This is the perfect option if you’re familiar with the gym environment and have used a range of fitness equipment previously. No appointment needed, just come along and workout!

This option isn’t available to customers aged 14 to 18 years or those with higher risk underlying medical conditions.

Refresh

This option suits customers who’ve been in a gym before, but would like a brief familiarisation with the equipment.

This option isn’t available to customers aged 14 to 18 years or those with higher risk underlying medical conditions.

Please allow 30 minutes for this appointment. Book your refresh appointment by speaking to the front of house team or calling 01724 291900.

Induction

A qualified Health & Fitness Assistant will show you around the gym and demonstrate how to use each piece of equipment and they’ll design a personal fitness programme for you to help you achieve your goals. We recommend this option if you’re new to exercise, or lack confidence or motivation.

Please allow an hour for this appointment. You can book your induction by speaking to the front of house team or calling 01724 291900.

Fitness reviews and InBody scans

Achieve your fitness goals by tracking your progress using the InBody Scan machines and having regular programme reviews with a Health & Fitness Assistant.

Fitness reviews

To keep on track and help you achieve your fitness goals you can book a meeting with a Health & Fitness Assistant to discuss your progress and update your personalised programme. These review meetings are free of charge and you can book them by speaking to the front of house team at reception or by calling the centre on 01724 291900.

InBody scans

Ever wondered what you’re made of? If so, book an appointment with our InBody machine.

The InBody machine will analyse your body composition by measuring fat mass, muscle mass, and body water levels. There’s no pinching or discomfort involved, you just stand on the device with bare feet and hold the hand electrodes.

Nothing will measure your fitness journey better than body composition. Ignore the scales, ignore the measurements…this is the tool that will really show your progress and achievements.

InBody composition scans are free of charge for Fitness+, Active Gym and Active Swim members, and are only £5.50 per scan for other customers.

We’ll give you a print-out of your results, but we advise that you use the InBody app to view your results so that you can monitor your progress. Download the app before your appointment so you get your results instantly. You can download the InBody app on the Apple Store or Google Play store.

Book your scan with the front of house team at reception or by calling 01724 291900 and please allow 15-minutes for your appointment.
