🔥 NEW EQUIPMENT IS COMING! 🔥

We’re always looking for ways to make 121 Gym bigger, better and to give you more reasons to train hard, and we’ve got some serious upgrades on the way. 👀

💥 FIRST UP… A BRAND-NEW PENDULUM SQUAT!

Get ready to put your legs through their paces with this beast of a machine. 🍗🔥 It’s already in place at the gym, and we’ve spotted you using it already.

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be welcoming even more new equipment as deliveries arrive and the new kit gets put into position. We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring you some serious upgrades, and we can’t wait to show you what’s coming. 💪

Some of it may take a little time to get set up, but it’s all happening very soon. 🚚🔧

New kit. More variety. Better training. Same AWESOME atmosphere.

Meet Sorcha – Our New Personal Trainer 💪✨

We’re delighted to welcome Sorcha to the 121 Gym team as a Personal Trainer, starting 1st September! 🎉

Sorcha has been training for over 30 years and has been a member of 121 Gym for around 15 years, so you may already know her from training, karate 🥋 or even dancing! 💃 She describes 121 as her “second home” and is excited to now join the team.

With a background in geology and university teaching, Sorcha returned to her passion for health and fitness and has spent the last few years delivering personal training and group exercise in the local community.
She holds a Level 3 Personal Training qualification, with additional specialist qualifications in Older Adults, Menopause and Special Populations, and is currently completing her Exercise Referral qualification. 🎓

Sorcha is passionate about helping people of all ages and abilities become stronger, more confident and independent. ❤️ In particular, she loves supporting those who might feel that gyms aren’t “for them” — whether you’re new to exercise, returning after a break, managing a health condition, or simply wanting to stay strong and active as you get older.

Her own 35+ years in martial arts and experience of adapting her training through different stages of life have reinforced her belief that movement can genuinely change lives.

So, if you see Sorcha around the gym from 1st September, please say hello! 👋 She’ll be happy to have a chat, answer any questions and help you get started on your fitness journey. 💪😊

📣 Class Reminder 📣

A polite reminder to all members:

📲 Please always book your class via the ClubRight app, regardless of class numbers.

❌ If you can’t attend, please cancel your place, regardless of numbers. This helps keep bookings accurate and gives others the opportunity to attend.

⏰ Please arrive 5–10 minutes before the start time. If it’s your first time attending a class, particularly Spin, please arrive early enough for the instructor to show you how to set up your bike and explain how the class works.

🧽 Remember to clean up after yourself: return all equipment to its proper place, wipe down your bike/equipment, and clean up any spills or sweat.

Thank you for helping us keep classes safe, clean and enjoyable for everyone! 💪😊

GYM ETIQUETTE REMINDER

With lots of new members joining 121 Gym recently, we thought it was the perfect time to remind everyone, both new and existing members, of a few simple points of gym etiquette and common courtesy 💕

Our goal is to keep 121 Gym a welcoming, safe, and enjoyable place for everyone, and we all have a part to play.

Please remember to:
💪 Respect our staff, fellow members, equipment, and facilities.
🏋️ Return all equipment and weights to their correct place after use so they’re ready for the next member.
👟 Wear suitable footwear at all times—sliders, Crocs, and flip-flops are not appropriate for training.
📸 Be considerate when taking photos or videos and respect the privacy of those around you.
🚫 Please don’t enter either studio while a class is in progress.
📅 Always book onto classes before attending, and if you can no longer make it, cancel your booking to give someone else the opportunity to join.

A little respect and consideration go a long way. Thank you for helping us maintain the friendly, supportive atmosphere that makes 121 Gym such a great place to train. We appreciate every one of you! 💪
