Going to the gym for the first time can be very daunting... Lots of complicated looking equipment around and intimidating "BUFF" guys hanging around with all the gains.
To combat this, new for 2016/17 we are introducing Cycling Group Gym Sessions on Friday meeting at the lobby area inside the Sports Centre at 5pm.

We will meet every week, even when everyone knows what they are doing as its always nice to have others pushing you and keeping you company in the gym!
