This section provides information on the resources available to support your general health and wellbeing.
Wellness checks
Wellness checks are a 15-20 minute consultation with a member of our friendly fitness team, measuring weight and body fat %, using our inBody scanner to provide personalised feedback on the measurements to inform advice on types of training and exercise to best improve health and wellness. It's a brilliant starting point for those at the beginning, restarting or well into their health and wellness journey.

Making it as easy as possible for you to get the right advice when you need it the most. For further support, you can call the confidential helpline – available 24/7, 365 days a year.
