Do you have any personal trainers in the gym and how much are the sessions?
Hi Ryan,
We certainly do- You can find out more information here- http://www.penistoneleisurecentre.org.uk/joe-clegg-personal-trainer/
Do you offer bike riding lessons for children? If so when, how much and how do you book?
Hi Lisa
Yes we have learn to ride sessions this holiday.
Sessions at the centre this summer run for 45mins on July 28, Aug 11 and Aug 25, for ages 3-10.
First they learn to find their balance (please remove stabilizers and pedals before coming if possible. If you struggle don’t worry there will be someone here to help you).
Sessions cost £5 and must be booked in advance – please call 07341 300259 to reserve a place.
I hope that helps
Good morning, is Tai Chi class going ahead this morning? – given the conditions
Hi Denise,
As far as I know nothing has changed, but you’re best to check with Zheng Wu / Natalie on 07535 002987.
Thanks,
Rachel
Do you do a childrens freestyle skate something less structured please?
Hi Mina,
Yes we have lots of public skating sessions where you can just come and skate around and there’s a tuck shop. Look here:
I’m looking to take part in some tennis as exercise along with my dad, is there any chance I would be able to this?
Many Thanks
Hi Faith,
We do hire out the hall by the hour at times there aren’t classes running – mainly late evening or daytime. We don’t have a tennis net, but do have badminton nets and are planning to upgrade the equipment very soon. You can call Louise on 07526253100 or email her on [email protected]
Do you have any yoga classes and Pilates classes??
Hello Bev, we used to have yoga, but the class did so well Claire has moved to her own premises on Penistone High Street. You can contact her on 07803 855669 or [email protected]
My doctor has recommwnded I try tai chi for my back problems Is th e instructor well qualified.
The instructor is fully insured by, and an instructor level member of, the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain. He learned Tai Chi in China from Master Hao of Nanyang University and has been practising Tai Chi for 17 years. The class is very gentle and suitable for beginners.
Do you have any excersise classes for older women who would like to excersise regularly but has mobility issues
Hi Christine,
I’m afraid we don’t run chair aerobics classes, but I’m told they do run at St John’s Community Centre in Penistone, Wednesdays 10:30-11:30am and Fridays 10:45-11:45am
A good idea would be to allow people to pay for a class on a pay as you play basis, capped at a maximum of maybe £4 per class, while also allowing them access to the gym on that day included in the £4 price they paid for a class.
Because £17.50 per month as a stand alone fee for access to that little gym full of old equipment, excluding classes, is a very uncompetitive asking price by modern standards, whether or not the facility is community and volunteer run.
Hi Helen,
Maybe our trustees will have a chat about letting class-users have access to the gym at a discounted price. I suppose we could try and see what happens because at the moment not so many people who attend classes use the gym too. A practical problem would be how to ‘police’ the system – making sure that people who SAY they are class users really are attending classes. But this is worth a discussion.
Thank you for the idea.
Martyn
Are classes included in the cost of the monthly gym membership or do you have to pay for those separately?
Hi Rachael,
Classes aren’t included in the price of gym membership, we try to keep everything as cheap as possible by only asking people to pay for the activities they want to use. However, you are not tied into any amount of time for the membership. You can buy a month at £17.50, then just pay £2 per session or £5 per week the next month if you won’t be coming as much.
The prices for each class can be found if you follow the links above to the pages for each one.
Do I need an induction to use the gym and do you have a pool.
Thank you
Hi there,
Yes you do need an induction, you can just turn up at any of the times listed for inductions on our gym page
I’m afraid we don’t have a pool.
Rachel
Hi there
Can you tell me a bit more about Boxercise? And do you just turn up as i am looking to join so would be a beginner 🙁
Hi Christine,
There is more information on the Boxercise page. If you still have questions, you are best to contact the coach, Leigh, directly.
Thanks,
Rachel

Hi can you tell me a bit more about boogie bounce please
Thanks
Rachel
Hi Rachel,
Boogie bounce is a class on mini trampolines, where everyone bounces to music and Claire takes you through lots of different exercises. It looks very energetic and great fun. For more detail or to book a place, call Claire on 07974 178953.
Rachel
Do you have to pay for classes or do they come under membership?
Membership is for the gym only, £5 per week or £17.50 per month – or you can pay each time you come for £2.
Classes are paid separately to the coach when you arrive. See the pages for whether you need to book and for prices.
