Health Zone

The Health Zone predominantly caters for specific clients, for example those who are mobility impaired, or those who find it difficult to access the Tone Zone gym due to the steps. The Health Zone is also open to the public as an ‘overflow’ facility from the Tone Zone – please ask at reception for daily opening times.
