  • Social sport leagues for futsal, basketball, volleyball, and netball.
  • Sport courts for squash and pickleball, free to use before 3pm.
  • Free equipment hire.
  • A rock-climbing wall (join the Climbing Club for climbing nights).
  • A boxing room, functional training room, women’s only gym area, and a stretching/yoga room.
  • Massage chairs, hairdryers, and straighteners for after your shower.

All of this is included with your membership, except for social sport leagues (which have a small team fee) and court bookings after 3pm.

You can even get discounted massages and personal training!
