Phoenix Fitness Kendal

Phoenix Fitness is a large gym in the centre of Kendal, just a short walk from Kendal Castle and the K Village Outlet Centre. The gym opened in 2015 and is operated by father and son team, Andy and Sam Kaye. Andy Kaye ran a softplay centre at the site for over 20 years and his son Sam previously ran personal training and fitness classes at the softplay centre. The pair decided that they wanted to take their interest in fitness further and converted the play centre into Phoenix Fitness. It is now one of the largest gyms in Kendal.

Membership is available for £35 per month. Day passes are available from £5 for those who know a member of the gym.

Equipment

As a relatively new gym all of the equipment at Phoenix Fitness is modern and in good condition. The equipment has largely been supplied by Star Trac and there are around 50 stations. For cardiovascular training, you will find the full range of equipment here, such as treadmills and cross trainers, fitted with monitoring systems that allow you to track your progress. As well as traditional exercise bikes you will also find a Star Trac Turbo Trainer with a fly wheel that displaces air, giving greater resistance and can be operated with either your legs or your arms for a full body workout. There is also a stairmill, and rowing machines.

For strength training, there are a plethora of machines that will help you tone and build muscle, including a multi-gym with a cable crossover, lat pull down, triceps press and low row. There are also various presses and extension machines, plus a large free weights area and a max rack.

Fitness Classes

Fitness classes are available for members of the gym. They include high intensity interval training, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai (Thai boxing) and body toning. The gym also runs fitness classes for children, who do not need to be members to attend.

Personal Training

Personal training sessions are available for both members and non-members, starting at £20 for one hour for non-members.

Other Features

There is a nail and beauty salon on the second floor of the building.
