We will arrange a time that suits you for your first lesson, explain all the details and then place your child in a level / ability that is right for them.

We have had a great 3 days at the Reckitt site in Beeston providing health checks for their employees!
Their staff were able to have the opportunity to check their body stats (including body fat, muscle mass, bone mass and metabolic age), peak flow, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose.
We also offered Tai-Chi sessions to promote the benefits of exercise for mental and physical health.
It was great to have a positive impact on any lifestyle changes that could be made following the checks and we met some friendly and engaged people every day who asked for our advice on their results...
The Tanita body stat machine which we used is always available FREE for all of our members so please either book in, or ask a fitness advisor on shift to help you, and look out for our cholesterol and glucose testing days which we offer on various dates across the year...
