New Fitness Suite only Membership

After a successful trial the Centre Manager Pete Diffey is pleased to announce that we are now offering a Fitness Suite Only Membership for only £16.50 for 30 days use of the fitness suite (from the date of purchase). This is a great way to stay in shape, save money, and still use the centre but with the flexibility a monthly membership doesn't offer..!
