Description of Gym (Click to expand)

The gym is situated in the main building at Sport in Desford. The purpose of the gym is for people in the local community to come along, and take part in physical activity to help improve or maintain their levels of fitness.

The Facillities

The energy efficiency of LED lighting, a selection of equipment, and machines that require little or no electricity help to make this an environmentally friendly gym in fitting with the ethos of Sport in Desford. The gym is split into two areas: Main Area: This comprises a selection of cardio, and fixed weight machines, this includes treadmills, rowers, bikes, UBE’s, a smith machine, and a selection of resistance machines targeting different areas of the body. Weights Area: We have a large selection of dumbbells, mats, medicine balls, balance aids, a bench press machine, and a cable machine. This area is cushioned, and contains mirrors to help members maintain, and correct posture. Music: A wide selection of music is available, and the control of the sound is separated off into each area.

Activities

The gym is run by Jeremy Edwards who is a level 4 advanced exercise instructor specialising in exercise rehabilitation. The team of 4 instructors provide a vast experience of knowledge on gym based exercise. A qualified instructor will always be on hand to help. Our aim is for everybody to have an enjoyable experience, to come back, and incorporate gym based exercise into a weekly exercise schedule .

Standard Sessions

We offer all prospective members a 1 to 1 induction to try out the equipment, and to make sure you are performing exercises correctly. If required, we can put together a bespoke exercise programme specific to your needs.

HeartSmart

Women Only

As a female, you may feel nervous, uncomfortable or self conscious about exercising in a gym in a mixed gender environment. To make your session as relaxing, and enjoyable as possible we offer a women only session. A qualified instructor will be on hand to provide an induction, and to tailor a programme to your needs, if required.

Circuit Classes

This class is specifically for individuals who qualify under the exercise referral or heartsmart schemes. People have the choice to exercise within a group rather than on an individual basis. This comprises a warm up incorporating flexibility, and stretches of 15-20 minutes. A series of 10 to 11 low level functional exercises repeated twice through with a short break in between. The exercises can be adapted, and tailored to each individuals requirements. Each exercise is carried out for a minute before moving on. A cool down incorporating stretching is done to complete the session.
