Fitness First High Wycombe is now being operated by The Fitness Trust and is trading as ‘Welcome Gym’, a new brand of gym that offers excellent facilities at an exceptionally low price.

The Fitness Trust is a non-profit organisation, with an objective to provide professionally run, accessible, gym and exercise facilities to communities with a broad demographic base.

Our mission is to promote better health choices for everyone - by offering a broad programme of fitness and health activities, workshops and classes in a non-intimidating and friendly environment. We will be focusing on how structured exercise can help tackle local community issues such as obesity, inactivity and mental ill-health, all of which have far reaching implications on business productivity, health care provision and education.

A key way we can impact on these community health issues is by offering attractive exercise options for those adults that need to lose weight and for children at risk of obesity, to educate and encourage them to bring activity into their lives at an early age. We need to provide engaging and suitable activities for the older population and to reach out to those who perceive that exercise and fitness activities are too unattractive or too expensive for them.

Our aim is for Welcome Gym to become a community hub, where traditional, structured exercise sessions happen, but that also provides space for educational seminars, demonstrations, workshops, presentations and support groups. We aim to work closely with other local businesses, to provide an all-encompassing health and wellness resource.

The gym offers spacious changing rooms, a large free weights and functional training area and an extensive selection of treadmills, cross trainers and resistance equipment. An exciting range of more than 45 classes per week are also offered free to all members.

This is an exciting move for us and means we can offer our members great facilities, better value, lots of free classes, online access to their membership account and easy entry to the club.

Direct debit memberships are now available starting at just £17.99 per month, proving that getting fitter doesn’t have to break the bank!

Joining up, paying monthly fees, booking classes and communicating with the gym are all done online via www.welcomegym.co.uk Access to the club will be via turnstile and biometric fingerprint technology, avoiding the need to carry a membership card. This system will be installed within the next few weeks.

For a limited time, members can ‘join for free’ paying no joining fee (usually £39.95). To take advantage of this exclusive offer please register before 28th February 2017.

More information can be found on our website www.welcomegym.co.uk or please ask our new team members if you have any questions.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new gym!
