Health Check

Set a starting point for your fitness journey with a health check. InBody (Newport Centre and the Velodrome) or Tanita (Pool & Tennis Centre) are the machines we use to measure body metrics for the individuals via bio-electrical independance. It takes the following measurement: weight, BMI, body fat %  and distribuition, visceral fat (fat around internal organs), muscle mass & distribution, hydration levels and bone density. These results will then be automatically uploaded on to the Healthy and Active App. 

In order to prepare for this test users need to be aware of the following:-

You should not use this machine if;

• You have a pacemaker or defibrillator fitted.
• You are pregnant.
• No exercise 4 hours before use.
• No caffeine or alcohol 12 hours before use.
• No food 2 hours before use.
• Avoid during the menstrual cycle.

We recommend members book in for a Health Check every 4 weeks to monitor progress.

A health check is free for members or £18.60 per session for non-members. 

Programme

A personalised digital fitness plan you can access anywhere created by our qualified team members tailored to your goals. The personalised fitness plan will detail the type of exercises appropriate to you, how much weight to put on the machines, number of reps, sets, technique and progressions. Our video demos show you how to exercise safely and achieve your goals. We can also help you with new ways of training from split routines to pyramids. Access your programme on the Healthy and Active App, MyWellness website or we can even give you a digital printout. Your programme can also include a health check if you'd like one!

We recommend that you re-book a programme every 4-6 weeks to prevent plateau. 

A programme is free for members or £18.60 per session for non-members.

1 to 1 Training

It’s a lot more personal than a programme! A weekly 30 minute 1 to 1 session with an instructor to keep you motivated to reach your fitness goals.

A weekly 1 to 1 is free for members or £18.60 per session for non-members. Members can also book additional 1 to 1s for £18.60 per session. 

Biocircuit Induction
