Memberships coming soon!
Community Use
At the Thurston Community College Sports Education Centre.
Use our Fitness Suite!
We're open on a trial basis each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening between 17:30 – 21:00 with sessions bookable in time slots as outlined below.
The trial period will run until the end of December, with a view to continue and expand in the new year should it prove successful. We hope to offer memberships at around £15 per month in the new year.
PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING
When you click the booking link above, you will be asked to complete a mandatory first time user induction online. This won't take long. You only need to do this once, a link to the booking system will be sent to you for future bookings upon completion. This is an essential requirement to help keep everybody safe whilst using our Sports Education Centre.
