The centre's new fitness class timetable has launched and is proving popular with our customers! In particular our new mobility classes. Duncan Liddel, Fitness Manager explains “Our mobility classes are great for everyone because they help you move your joints and improve your quality and range of movements in your every day life as well as when you are exercising. Ideal for combining with some of our other classes as it’s only 30 minutes long”. The centre have mobility classes on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
