The necessity for some people to exercise with the support and bouyancy that water provides prompted us to think of new classes. We also need to get more Members to participate in the pool-based classes, and by adding on these new classes we hope we can attract a new audience.

In addition, the popularity of Circuits-based classes has prompted us to add one more on Thursday nights to cope with demand. Circuits is now on Monday, Saturday and Sunday mornings, and Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Each instructor brings their own personal style and motivation to the class, and we urge you to try them all to get a different perspective on how you can train for the best results.

We thank you for the feedback which has led to these changes.

Book yourself in for a Gym review and try the new TRX frame, ViPR™, Kettle Bells, Power Plate® and the Kinesis resistance kit. There's something new for most of our Members.

If you've not played tennis for a few years, try the Fast Track Tennis coaching programme. Six hours of free coaching to get you back up to form. After Fast Track, move onto On Track and then Power Track. This is a full tennis coaching journey where all levels are catered for.

How about an indoor Cross Fit style of workout? Book a free taster session with any of the Personal Trainers who deliver the sessions in the Ultimate Training Zone. The cost, should you wish to take it up on a regular basis, is only £7 when paying for four per month by Direct Debit.

Children can be booked onto any of the DL Kids activites whilst you do all these things, and you can be safe in the knowledge that they are having fun, getting fit in a safe and friendly environment with our well-trained staff.

If your motivation has waned a little over the past few months, why not bring a friend along to train with you? Call 01865 744428 to arrange their visit and if they choose to join you will be entitled to a free gift.

In addition, as the demand on the free weights area gets more and more, we will be adding a squat rack and getting more Olympic bars and weights.

We hope for the minimum amount of disruption during the trade-out, and urge you to book a review of your progamme once the new equipment is in place, to ensure that you are fully aware of what it can do for you to help with building lean muscle.

The old days of running for an hour on the treadmill in the hope that weight will fall off you are over, and we urge you to build in Resistance work for muscle tone and Interval Cardio training for sustained weight loss and fitness improvement.
