Most of our gyms have opening times to suit everyone’s schedule, too. Many are open from 6am until 10pm so you can easily go before or after your classes start. You can use the gym as much or as little as you like as well, although obviously the more you use it, the better value your membership is!

State-of-the-art gym Equipment

Almost all gyms now come with WattBikes too, so you can measure your fitness and power levels in minute details.

Resistance Gym Equipment

These are perfect for focusing your workout on a specific muscle group and helping ensuring you keep your form correct. Your form is important as doing the exercises correctly will help make sure you don’t hurt yourself while exercising.

Resistance equipment not only helps build muscle and tone, but it will also help you build cardio fitness, as well as range of movement and suppleness in your joints, too. It’s a fantastic addition to any well-balanced workout.

Our PTs are experts in their fields and will give you a personalised workout regime designed to help you meet your goals, as well as giving you one-on-one advice and encouragement during your sessions together. It’s a fantastic way to stay motivated and stay on track, whatever your goals are.

What to Wear and Bring

First of all, it’s important to be comfortable in the gym. Wear clothing that’s fairly loose (although not too loose) and breathable. Shorts and a t-shirt are a good place to start, although you can also try jogging bottoms or even a tracksuit or leggings. You’ll also need a good pair of trainers, some comfy socks and a towel. You’ll also need a pound coin or locker token for your locker in the changing room (Some of our centres use padlock lockers or 20p coins rather than pound coins).

New to the Gym?

If you’re a newcomer to the gym, we realise it can be a rather intimidating place. That’s why we always have friendly and knowledgeable staff on hand to help with any queries you may have. It’s also important that, before you sign up, you speak to your doctor and make sure they give you the all-clear to take on extra exercise like this.

Online Induction

Before you start, you’ll be required to take an online induction where you’ll watch videos that show you how to operate the most popular pieces of equipment. You can re-watch these at any time and there are plenty more instructional videos to help you use any of the equipment you’ll find at any of our sites. Furthermore, there are always Everyone Active colleagues on hand to give you a hand if you’re struggling to work any of the kit out!

Use the Pool When you Want with your Concession Gym Membership

If you want to switch your workout up from the gym, or are recovering from a little twinge, why not try the pool? Swimming is included as part of your concession gym membership a fantastic whole-body workout, burning calories and toning muscle at the same time. Meanwhile, you’re also much less likely to hurt yourself as it’s so low impact. You’re putting almost no strain through your joints.

student memberships concession gym membership

Everyone Active has more than 120 pools across the country and each one has sessions throughout the week to suit swimmers of all ages and abilities. Whether you want to pound the lanes to boost speed and fitness, work on technique, or just enjoy the water, you’ll find a session for you.

What to Wear

We’re pretty relaxed about what you wear while you’re swimming with us. As long as you’re comfortable and you can still move easily, you should be okay. For men, things like trunks, swim shorts, Lycra leggings and close-fitting trunks are all fine, while for women, there are bikinis, tankinis, swimming costumes, Lycra leggings and swim dresses as well as short- and long-sleeved t-shirts. We also recommend you wear goggles and a swim hat, while you’ll also need a towel, as well as a pound coin or a token for the lockers in the changing rooms. For full information on what you should and shouldn’t wear, check out our swimwear policy.

Group Exercise Classes

Alongside the gym and the pool, with your concession gym membership, you can also enjoy our huge range of group exercise classes. There are both virtual and live classes available, ranging from intense cardio classes such as Les Mills Bodycombat to more relaxed sessions such as Yoga and Pilates. Whatever you prefer, there really is something for everyone and they offer a great break from using the gym or the pool.

Enjoy our Range of Group Exercise Classes

With your concession gym membership, you’ll also be able to take part in any of our fabulous range of group exercise classes. These include everything from intense, heart-thumping Bodypump classes, to more relaxed Yoga and Pilates sessions, as well as just about everything in-between. Whatever your age, fitness level or simply taste, we’ve got something for you.

Many of our classes are part of the world-renowned Les Mills stable and come in both live and virtual formats. Live classes are taught by an instructor that’s in the room with you, while a virtual class uses a big screen and a pre-recorded class to take you through the workout.

Huge Variety of Classes

The range of classes we offer tothose with concession gym memberships really is second to none. Regardless of your preference, you’re sure to find a group exercise class to suit you. We have hundreds of sessions to choose from, including cardio, toning and strength, as well as more relaxing classes.

Cardio Classes

If you want to improve your cardio fitness, then there are a number of group exercise classes we can recommend. Classes such as Les Mills Bodycombat and group cycling are among our most popular cardio-focused sessions. The former uses mixed martial-arts moves in sequences to give you a superb all-body cardio workout. Group cycling, meanwhile uses static bikes and you follow instructions to go at a certain pace and adjust the resistance on the bike according to instructions from the session leader.

Toning Classes

The Les Mills GRIT Athletic class is one of our most popular toning-centric sessions. This is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session that focuses on helping you achieve a lean, athletic body. Another Les Mills class – Bodypump – is also very popular. This fast-paced workout uses barbells to help get you toned and fit.

Strength Classes

Among our most popular strength-focused classes is the Les Mills GRIT Strength HIIT class. This is a 30-minute high-intensity interval training class that uses barbells, weight plates and bodyweight exercises to help you build muscle, cardio fitness and improve strength. It’s a whole-body work out, too, so you won’t miss any muscle groups out!

Relaxing Classes

Yoga and Pilates are some of our most popular relaxation-focused classes. These put the emphasis on ensuring proper breathing and stretching, rather than pushing the body to its physical limits. Classes such as these are also great for improving flexibility and range of movement in the joints, as well as improving mental health.

What are Virtual Group Exercise Classes?

Virtual group exercise classes are just like our live instructor-led sessions, except they are led by pre-recorded instructors on a big screen. Often, they are led by the same people who devised the classes themselves, so you know you’re getting the very best instruction possible. Furthermore, virtual classes are a great option for anyone wanting to try a new class before committing to a specific live class. Without the pressure of having an instructor there, if you’re not enjoying it, or you’ve just had enough, you can always sneak away without anyone seeing you!

What to Wear

Again, comfort is key here. It’s important you feel comfortable while you’re taking part in your group exercise class – whatever it may be. Whatever you wear, make sure you can move in it – that’s really important! You don’t want to find you can’t do one of the moves because your clothes won’t let you. That means stretchy fabrics are advisable and t-shirts, Lycra leggings, jogging bottoms or shorts are probably the best way forward.

As for your feet, for most group exercise classes, a good pair of trainers are all you’ll need, but for some sessions, such as Yoga and Pilates, you’ll be expected to go barefooted or in socks. For sessions such as these, you may also need items such as Yoga mats, straps and blocks.

New to Group Exercise Classes?

Don’t worry if you’re new to group exercise classes, we’re here to help you get settled in. Our colleagues in-centre and especially your class instructor (assuming your class is a live, rather than virtual session) are on-hand to answer any questions you may have. If you’re not sure what to wear, you can find advice on that above.

How to Book

You need to book yourself onto your favoured class each week. You can do this either via our mobile app, your profile on our website, or in-centre.
