Facilities

It is far from that, some do less than brisk walking on a treadmill (I am one of these), it is flat, not cold and no rain. Cycling and rowing are also easygoing if you so wish, Dr Vin will give you plenty of guidance, as will fellow members, it is a user friendly environment.

The new owners of  24/7 Fitness, (formerly Fitness First) Downend, Fareham, have embraced our group and everything is exactly the same as before. We started under their auspices on Wednesday 6^th July.

24/7 Fitness, Downend

New owners, Gary and Sarah have run the gym at Portsmouth Gunwharf for 4 years. If you check their website it is an impressive place and I am sure they will have plans to make ‘Our Place’ just as good. Hope to see lots of you on the Treadmills and/or Bikes. Just remember you can go as slow as you like, and the chitchat is great therapy as well.

24/7 Fitness – extensive training options

RULES FOR GYM USERS

24/7 FITNESS CENTRE

A GUIDED TOUR

Lots of parking so that’s a good start. In we go,,don’t forget to ‘tick in’ and if you need a locker (Own Lock) it’s straight to the changing rooms.

No locker required then it’s into the main exercise room,on the right, it contains treadmills, multi-trainers  ,cycles etc.even has large screen televisions (headset required for sound) they certainly make the time pass quicker.If you desire a quieter environment then up the stairs and turn left we find a small exercise room, a tranquil setting, also on this floor is the massive dance studio, did you know that on Fridays you can join an Aerobics class at 9.30am or Pilates at 10.30am.

We are now going upstairs, across the foyer are the mens changing rooms,showers etc.. If we walk past this door and along the passage we find the beauty/massage parlour on our left.

At the end of the corridor is another peaceful room which is for stretching and core exercises. Following the corridor the next two rooms are for weight training (a third is not yet ready). To complete the circuit of the bottom floor we find tucked behind reception an in-house chiropractor and Sports Massage.

There are two personal trainers at the gym if required, they are Donna and John.

At £1.75 a session on Mon,Wed and Friday.

I’ve saved the best until last, up the stairs we go again and at the rear of this floor is  :-

‘ZIN’ Coffee, Tea, Juice & Wine Bar.

Run by Angela and Jane I’m sure it will be a great success. Filter Coffee at £1.00 sounds good to me, great venue for meeting up with someone.
