RecCentre – more than just a gym!
The RecCentre has all the traditional stuff a gym has – modern cardio and weights for example. But did you know that we also have….
Over 50 FREE group fitness classes per week, with something to suit everyone?
A bouldering wall (check out the climbing club for climbing nights)
Social sport leagues for Futsal, Basketball, Volleyball and Netball*
Sport courts, including squash & pickleball that you can use for free before 3pm
Free equipment hire
A boxing room, functional training room, women’s only gym area and a stretching/yoga room away from it all
Massage chairs, hairdryers and straighteners for after your shower
All of this is FREE with your membership – except social sport leagues, they have a small team fee, and court bookings after 3pm.
You can even get discounted massage and personal training if you’re feeling boujee.
