The gym at Penistone Leisure Centre is open to everyone aged 16 or over (14 or 15 if accompanied by an adult). There is a group of people who are super fit and train hard, but a lot of people come just to get a bit fitter.
All of the staff who open the gym are unpaid volunteers.

Become a volunteer!
Do you get a lot out of Penistone Leisure Centre? Could you give something back? The gym at Penistone Leisure Centre is run entirely by volunteers and the more people who get involved, the better service we can provide for the community.
If you are a qualified gym instructor who could help us increase the hours we can offer inductions, please let us know. In exchange for a 2hr volunteer session per week, you get 24/7 access to the gym for your own personal training.
If you are not a qualified gym instructor but could be on reception, we would also love to hear from you. In exchange for a 2hr volunteer session per week, you get free access to the gym for your own personal training during all gym opening times.

November 12, 2018 at 5:13 pmCan I just walk in? Like do I have to be a memeber or anything? Do I just pay at the entrance?
Rachel Gibbons says
November 12, 2018 at 6:02 pmHi Derek,
You need to do an induction before you can use the gym – book here: Gym induction booking form. Once you’re inducted, you can just come when you like. It’s £2/session or £5 per week or £17.50 per month and you can mix and match which you buy. There’s no tie-in.

November 1, 2018 at 5:18 pmCurrently member at Scissett but Penistone would be nearer – can I have visit to have a look before I commit
Rachel Gibbons says
November 1, 2018 at 6:13 pmHi Mel,
Of course you can visit – pop in at any of our opening times – these are on our gym page. There is no commitment though, we don’t tie you into any contract – it’s just £2 per visit, £5 per week or £17.50 per month and you can mix and match those to suit yourself. You can also book a free induction, where one of our gym instructors will show you around the equipment and help with any questions you have about training.

We’d love to open at 4 pm – and we’d love to open at weekends too. At the moment we are a volunteer organisation and so our opening times reflect the hours that volunteers can cover. When we get more volunteers, then we’ll be able to extend out opening times.

April 8, 2016 at 5:38 amDo you do passes for the gym and classes combined?

April 13, 2016 at 9:16 amHi Christine,
I’m afraid we don’t have combined passes as the gym is run by the centre volunteers and the classes are all run by different coaches. Some of the coaches have offers though for their own classes if you look at their individual pages from the Classes page.
