Gym

As an experienced Leisure provider, we are well-renowned for helping to change customer’s lives and make them more active. The Gym programme for Poplar Baths focuses on helping customers build exercise into their busy lives and get results. The focus is on customers’ goals, the barriers to exercise and longer term behavioural change programmes.  The gym is highly interactive with a big emphasis on customer interaction. Staff are proactively encouraged to engage with customers and customers interact with each other through group exercise, women only sessions and community groups within the gym. We encourage like-minded people coming together to support each other to achieve results.  The gym is fully equipped, air-conditioned, multi-station gym offering a range of fitness equipment for everyone. Customers will be able to can choose from cardiovascular machines such as treadmills and rowers, resistance equipment including free weights and dedicated stretching areas.
