The fitness studios at Abbey Leisure Centre have recently been refurbished and now include a multi-use and virtual fitness studio.
The virtual studio features over 100 exercise classes each week. Bookable as normal through the timetable, everything from spinning to Pilates and Yoga will be on offer. Instead of a coach in the room, the class will be hosted by a virtual coach projected on screen. The format’s just the same though, as the virtual coach will lead you through all the moves and motivate you to keep going throughout the whole workout.
The multi-use studio is home to a whole host of other classes from dance to Tai Chi, there’s something for everyone.

Our Move Hub is installed with the latest power assisted equipment to give users a helping hand and is suitable for people who need support to get moving or those who are recovering from an illness and need support to be more active. The equipment is simple to use and offers a safe and comfortable exercise with an assistive action to help you move for longer. Our staff are on hand to discuss your fitness goals and help you to get started, we’ll also support you throughout your journey.

- aerobic exercise, which is important to support with every day activities such as walking – improving aerobic fitness has multiple benefits and can reduce the risks of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure
