Urban Parx Gym
We are delighted to announce the arrival of our Urban Parx Gymnasium (UPG) – a dedicated area for Urban ParX members aged 11 to 15 years of age to exercise.
Our Urban Parx Gymnasium (UPG) is a dedicated area for Urban ParX members aged 11 to 15 years of age to exercise. UPG complements our existing activity programme for young members by providing a fun and controlled environment to improve health, fitness and well-being. The Urban Parx Gym is limited to Urban Parx members only.
All Urban Parx members who wish to use the UPG will be required to complete a 3 part induction programme. These inductions will be done on a group basis, with up to 4 per group and will be fun, informative, educational and physical. During the induction, each Urban Parx member will be set up with a FitLinxx account so that they can keep a record of all their daily activity.
The Programme includes topics such as warm up, cool down, reasons to exercise, safe and effective use of cardiovascular equipment including treadmills, cross trainers, upright & recumbent bikes and rowing machines, plus a structured resistance workout, nutritional advice and circuit training.
Once Junior members have completed all three inductions they are allowed to use the UPG by themselves. Trainers working on the gym floor will oversee that exercise is being done in a safe and effective manner.
During term time, inductions can be booked with Ali Ahmed on Mondays and Tuesdays between 4pm - 7pm and Wednesdays from 4pm - 6pm. During school holidays, bookings are more flexible. Please speak to Ali or another member of the gym team for more information.
