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.

Urban Parx Gym complements our existing activity programme for young members by providing a fun and controlled environment to improve health, fitness and well-being. Urban Parx Gym is limited to Urban Parx members only. During term-time, the opening hours will be between 4pm and 7pm Monday to Thursday, 4pm to 8pm Fridays and 1pm to 4pm on weekends. Holiday time access will be from 9am to midday 7 days a week. Parents will be pleased to know that they will not have to be present in the main gymnasium whilst their children are using Urban Parx Gym.

All Urban Parx members who wish to use the Urban Parx Gymnasium will be required to complete a 6 week induction programme. These will be done on a group basis for up to 8 persons and will be fun, informative, educational and physical. During the induction each Urban Parx member will be set up with a FitLinxx account so they can use the equipment once they have completed the induction.

During term time the induction programme will last for 6 weeks and will include topics such as warm up, cool down, heart rate response to exercise, reasons to exercise, safe and effective use of cardiovascular equipment including treadmills, cross trainers, upright & recumbent bikes and rowing machines. Full details of the Induction Course content and costs will be available soon. During holiday periods Group Inductions will be conducted on a more intensive basis over 5 days!
