Our Gym

 

Fort Stamford has a large, modern gym which as you would expect, is full of equipment of the highest quality. Most gyms 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 for yourself!

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

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

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

A Fitness Assessment will take approximately 1 hour.

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

Free circuit classes

 

We hold a gym based circuit class on a Tuesday and Thursday evening between 8pm and 9pm. This is available for members of the club and is free of charge. Book at Reception for an hour’s penance, a combination of short bouts of weight and aerobic exercise!

Free inductions and upgrades

When you join Fort Stamford you will book in for a FREE induction. Not a group 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. Of course, this programme will need to be upgraded. Most gyms will leave you to speak to an instructor when you want a review. We know that this often does not happen regularly enough and that is when the rot for many starts. At Fort Stamford, upgrades are positively encouraged and 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 achieve their goals.

 

Personal Training

Several people ask about personal training. This is a one on one session with a qualified Personal Trainer. The instructor will be with you throughout your hour long session motivating you to achieve your goals. There really is nothing like having your own trainer but this service does come at a cost. Speak to the qualified gym staff for their rates.

 

Schools

A number of local schools use the 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 programmes for the students to follow. 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.
