Gym Experience

First time in the gym or just need to know the basics of how to use our equipment and machines?

Inductions are free and last around 30 minutes. They will give you all the information you need to get started within our gyms, and what you can take advantage of within your gym experience. If you’re a King’s student or staff member we’ll also talk you through the other areas of the department you can get involved in from King’s Move to BeActive.

Programmes can last from 4 to 6 weeks when you’ll be able to re-book with your coach to review your programme, your progress and what we can do to support you next. Programmes are free for all our gym members.
