Here at the Frank Lee Leisure & Fitness Centre we have a great offering to all members, whether you have used a gym before or not. You will find we have a great variety of classes which cater for all levels of fitness. But we don't just do classes. We have a spacious fitness area on the ground floor which has cardio machines and a good sized open space, we also have a weights room which includes dumbbells, pre-lode barbells, pin-loaded weights machines and more...
Within these two spaces we have an extensive variety of different equipment that you can use (some of which is listed above) these are also used in our classes and workouts, so if you are unsure how to use any equipment why not jump into a workout or class and master any piece of equipment.
The main pieces of equipment we use are TRX, ViPR, Medicine ball, Kettlebells and Bosu. Our gym team has kindly put together some videos below showing the equipment in action.
