I had my gym induction today at Holywell Fitness Centre – absolutely brilliant! I’m finally getting back into a proper training regime after a really frustrating injury. The staff were really attentive and have devised a programme which I am really looking forward to beginning.
As part of our drive to create an increasingly inclusive gym, from 10:45 to 12:15 each day, we’ll be offering Quiet Sessions with a calm low sensory environment to work out in, which will include:
- No loud music over the fitness suite speakers
- Turning off of all public TV screens within the fitness suites
- Drawing of blinds (if it is safe to do so)
- Avoidance of public announcements (unless there is an emergency)
- A polite request that all fitness users work out as quietly and respectfully as possible
