The Universal Fitness Centre

MEMBER OF THE MONTH

Bronia is an outstanding Member of the Month, she trains with real commitment, always giving her sessions everything she’s got. She’s been part of Universal Fitness Centre for a long time, and her friendly, upbeat energy has become a familiar and much‑loved part of the gym. Whether it’s a bit of banter, a good chat, or simply her positive presence, Bronia brings a fantastic vibe every time she walks through the door.

And now… let’s talk about the photo. Harvey is fully sitting on Bronia like she’s a piece of gym equipment, and she’s holding him up as casually as if he was a foam roller. Her face says, “Light work baby". If anyone ever questioned her strength, this picture ends the debate. Bronia isn’t just strong, she’s Harvey‑approved strong, and that’s a whole different category.

Circuits on Sunday 29th August at 9.10 is on as normal. It has been deleted by mistake.

Today we celebrate the incredible Gil Dempsey and her MANY years of loyal, dedicated service at Universal Fitness Centre. Gil has been more than just a team member, she’s been the friendly face at the door, the steady presence behind the desk, and the warm, welcoming spirit that made our gym feel like home.

Her commitment, kindness, and genuine care for every member have shaped our community in ways that will be felt for years to come. Gil is an excellent lady, a true professional, and someone who always went above and beyond with a smile.

We will absolutely miss her, her energy, her humor, her reliability, and the way she made everyone feel like part of the family. But don’t you worry… Gil will still be around the gym. She may be retiring from her role, but she’s not disappearing. She’ll still be here training, staying active, and of course keeping up her legendary “jaw training” with all of us, because we all know Gil loves a good chat with every member who walks through the door.

So let’s raise a glass (of protein shake, lol) to Gil, to her years of service, her heart, and her dedication.

Happy retirement, Gil. You’ve earned every moment.

🚨Member Of The Month🚨

is our August MOTM, and my word does he deserve it!!

He locks in 110% every single workout, he is committed, focused and extremely goal driven. He is one of the friendliest blokes we have ever met, so please do congratulate him if you see him around.

Beijan started training here early 2022, and his transformation is mind blowing. The amount of muscle gained, body fat lost, and experience earned is enough to make a man happy for life. Beijan is the pure definition of hard work pays off.

Massive congratulations again mate, keep doing you❤

*Information meeting*

No booking required. Drop us a message saying you’re going to pop buy so we have an idea of numbers and then let us explain what we can offer you over the next course.

See you Saturday!

Powerplate💪

This vibrating plate offers a whole lot more than you think...

Not only will in help stability, flexibility and recovery, but new studies have found that it could help with balance and fall risk.

Rapid vibrations stimulate nerve endings and receptors in joints and muscles, improving the body's awareness of its position in space.

The platform forces muscles to contract reflexively dozens of times per second, engaging deep stabilizing muscles that protect against stumbles.

Training on the surface helps retrain motor control pathways, allowing the nervous system to react faster if a slip or trip occurs.

Mechanical loading from the vibrations can stimulate bone mineralisation, lowering the risk of severe fractures if a fall does happen.

The safety of you/your loved ones is very important, and doing things like the Powerplate will help towards a better quality, more fulfilling life.
