Proudly reinvesting into our gym

As a charitable trust, we don’t have shareholders to pay and all profits are reinvested back into our community – this helps us achieve our goal of improving and maintaining their health and wellbeing. By investing back into the gym, we can offer our communities the very latest in exercise technology and trends, as well as making the gym even more accessible for all - regardless of age, fitness level or special needs. In fact the gym has been designed specifically to reduce ‘gym intimidation’, opening up the gym to even more members.

A gym experience like no other

As part of the detailed planning behind the refurbishment, we've designed a safe, natural journey around the gym for both new and experienced users, creating a series of zones using different coloured lighting to help vary the experience by changing the atmosphere.

The areas naturally flow through:

The zonal lighting simplifies navigation around the gym and has been selected based on a psychological match to the activity being undertaken. Just like music, lighting can really make a difference to the focus, energy and mood of a fitness space.

For example, in the dedicated free weight section on the ground floor the lighting is dark blue. This is shown to be energising and increases productivity, it also calms the mind and improves concentration levels, therefore helping you work out more, On the other hand red light, used in the functional zone, stimulates the fight or flight response, giving a burst of energy!

Music choice is also very important and the genre is selected to match different customer groups. For instance, upbeat modern music will play for the mixed age range we see on a Monday morning, quieter 80s music during our Fresh Start session on Tuesday mornings and mainstream music on Friday afternoons when it’s a mixed demographic.
