Fitness Machines 
These machines will help you to work almost every muscle in your body. Before training

you the “SKY” card so that you can train whenever you like. One-hour classes are held

“SKY” or “BLUE” card only): Member £2.10 per hour, Non  Member £3.20.
Weight Training
If you would like to become a little more serious about the shape of your body, then our
weight training room is for you. This area allows you to train using `free' weights as well
as machines and can help you to reach a really high level of physical fitness. Before
training here, you must first attend classes to obtain your `SKY card (see Fitness
Machines), followed by a minimum of two further classes to gain your `BLUE' card which
will allow you to train on your own. For fees, see Fitness Machines above.
However, if you are an experienced weight trainer, then it may not be necessary for you
to come to classes. Consultation with one of our instructors will provide more advice on
this matter. If it is not necessary for you to take any classes, your first weight training
session will cost £6, which includes your `BLUE' card.
