Penistone Leisure Centre
Led by the community - For the community
As we move forwards coming out of lockdown, we are looking at alternative sessions we can run, and one of the things that has been suggested has been a Table Tennis Club!
We have up to 5 tables available, so can get a good session going
Are you a Coach interested in getting involved? Would you come and play? What Days/Times would suit you? Do let us know!
A years worth of lockdown has taken its toll on our health and fitness, so if you are keen to join the gym to get your fitness back, here’s some information for you!
If you are already a member of our gym, and have had an induction, the Gym reopens on Monday 12th April, and we now have extended opening hours! All sessions must be booked in advance via our website due to covid-19 restrictions.
If you are looking to become a member of the gym, please sign up via the ‘Join the Gym’ page of the website. This is free of charge. One of our Gym instructors will then contact you to book you in for a gym induction. These will be from w/c 19/04/21 at the earliest.
We have two gym rooms available to use. The main gym has a variety of weights and resistance equipment, along with a treadmill, bike and rower to do cardio warm ups. The cardio room features only cardio equipment- a treadmill, cross trainer, bike and rowing machine. You can buy a daily, weekly, monthly passes for either of the gym rooms.
Our Gyms are regularly thoroughly cleaned and ‘fogged’ with antiviral fogging solution to ensure they are clean and safe. When you arrive to use the gym, please wear your facemask and use the hand gel provided. Check in at reception and then go into the gyms to begin your workout. Masks may be removed once you begin your workout. Please use the spray/wipes provided to wipe down the touch points of the gym equipment before and after you use it. There are strict limits of 6 people in the Main Gym and 2 people in the Cardio Room at a time. You may only attend the gym with members of your own household or to train on your own. Spotting is not allowed at this time.
If your kids are fed up of being cooped up, and are ready to try something new, why not sign them up for Karate Lessons with Khalid and his team of black belt instructors!
Karate resumes at Penistone Leisure Centre from Friday 23rd April at 5:15pm. To enquire about sessions and to book your free taster, please text your postcode to 07933559465 or send Karate ZONE a message on their Facebook page.
We were so pleased to hear the Prime Minister announce yesterday that we are on track to reopen next week on Monday 12th April for selected activities. You can find specific information about different sessions listed below.
From Monday we are able to open the Gyms again with limited capacity and restrictions in place. As before, booking in advance via our website will be essential, and numbers will be limited to 6 people in the main gym and 2 people in the cardio room at a time. When you arrive, please wear your mask and use the provided hand gel. You will now need to check in at the main reception and you can access the gym via the new link corridor. Gym sessions are bookable 3 days in advance, so the first day you will be able to book will be Friday 9th April.
We’re delighted to be able to welcome our children’s classes back week commencing Monday 12th April. This means that Little Leopards Baby Massage can resume in person sessions from Thursday 15th April and KarateZone from Friday 23rd April. Rachel will be in touch with her Skating Lesson students to confirm when classes will resume.
We are also able to open for Single Household Activities indoors from 12th April. This means that you can hire our Cafe/Studio space, 1/3 of the hall or 2/3 of the hall for badminton, skating, ride on toys or whatever you like really! These sessions are bookable now, so you can find them on our website. So why not hire the hall for a private skate disco with the kids? Or thrash your partner at Badminton?
We are not able to resume adult classes at the present time. We are working towards the government’s date of Monday 17th May for adult classes to re-start. Please watch this space, and rest assured that we are as keen to get them restarted as you are!
Before you attend the centre, please make sure you have familiarised yourself with the restrictions we have in place to keep everyone safe. One of our fantastic volunteers Mick, has made this short video to explain what to expect when you arrive.
What a beautiful sunny day we had yesterday for our Easter Treasure Hunt! A grand total of 185 children took part in our hunt and the feedback has been fantastic. The just under 2 mile walk had some challenging pictures to find along the route, and it looks like you all had such a fun time finding them all!
Thanks for sharing these pictures with us we love seeing them!
A massive thank you to Trustees Alison and Rachel for organising this brilliant family day.
