Fort Stamford has a large, modern fitness gymnasium which as you would expect, is full of equipment of the highest quality. Most fitness gymnasiums are similar, rows of equipment facing televisions, everybody  judging everybody! At Fort Stamford we are mindful of how most people feel and have laid the equipment out, so that you don't feel quite so on show as you might elsewhere. We have a wonderful mix of members, ranging from the young to the mature, the slight to the large. Whether  individually you are looking to tone up, shed fat or rehabilitate, you will be joining a friendly club, full of people trying to improve their quality of life. We are not like other clubs. Come up and see our fitness gymnasium for yourself!

What is it?
In a one-to-one Fitness   Assessment, a qualified instructor will evaluate your current level of fitness.

After the fitness tests are completed, you will be given a personalised report that summarises your results.  The fitness test information includes helpful advice on each fitness test and indications of what you need to improve.

The instructor will then advise you on how to make improvements.

A Fitness test will take approximately 1 hour.

Your test results are confidential.  Only you and the instructor will see the results.

We offer Fitness Circuit classes based in the gym. This is available for members of the club and is free of charge. Book at Reception for an hour’s penance! Our Fitness Circuit class gives you an all over body workout, combining resistance training and high intensity aerobics. It is designed to be easy to follow and target strength building as well as muscular endurance.

When you join Fort Stamford you will book in for a FREE gym induction. Not a group gym induction with others who you don’t know, but a one on one session with an instructor who will spend over an hour with you. They will introduce you to the equipment, make sure you know how it works and they will then write a programme for you to follow, designed specifically for you and your goals.  Of course, we will review your programme on a regular basis to keep you interested and ensure you contine to achieve your goals.  At Fort Stamford, gym induction reviews are FREE of charge. We have developed a colour coded program card system so that both you and the instructor know when a review is due. We know that if you have a regular review, you will stay more motivated and a motivated member is a happy member who is much more likely to reach their target.

 Personal FitnessTraining is all about staying motivated, getting results and getting them on schedule. We recognise that every client is individual, and we know that every client requires a bespoke program written by a fully qulaified Personal Trainer to achieve their goals so that’s what you will get!

You will have a 60 minute FREE consultation with a personal trainer, including a fitness assessment and measurements in order to clearly identify your needs and expectations with this knowledge a personal fitness training program will be established, including if required, dietary advice. Each session will be different to keep you interested and motivated.

A number of local schools use the fitness facilities at Fort Stamford, in particular the gym. Groups need to be manageable in size and supervised by at least one teacher. Needless to say, we provide instructors who will carry out group inductions, prepare circuits and or write fitness programmes for the students to follow. School Student groups can only be accommodated at off peak times (lunchtime/early afternoon) and the charge is £2.50 per person. Speak to Royston Sumner on 01752 407999 for more information.
