This is all included in the membership fee. The gym also holds regular transformation programmes, where members can sign up to take part in a multi-week training programme. Participants are given a before and after photo to see how they have progressed.

The centre has separate male and female changing areas and each changing area is fitted with a sauna, showers and a stand-up tanning station.
Other Features
The gym does not have a café, but being in the centre of Workington it is just a few minutes’ walk to a number of cafés, bars, and restaurants in the town centre.
