We also have full open gym membership, with access to our unique space 24 hours a day 7 days a week with prices from £40 a month with no long term contract, as well as option for personalised programming.
The idea for what was to become Renegades Gym was formulated during the lockdown period by four friends who regularly enjoyed training together, friends that wanted to create a new business with a community sports club ethos and atmosphere. After much discussion we decided to pool our resources and begin the task of finding suitable premises for what we hoped would become an enviable social enterprise that facilitated elements of small group personal training, group circuit training, individual gym access, regular social events and a community feel, all at an affordable level that was inclusive rather than exclusive.
The Gym
Initially set up to have a maximum membership of 50 to reinforce its community atmosphere, the gym will be blessed with the services of three excellent trainers, boasting nearly 40 years combined experience in physical training. They all bring their own unique training style and specialities, not to mention extensive specialist knowledge involving strength and conditioning, movement, injury rehabilitation and nutrition.

She likes to take classes and enjoys the camaraderie that goes with it. Making them fun and interesting. HIIT being her favourate way to exercise.
