THE GYMNASIUM

In Fitness and In Health

There are those who like to put themselves through the pain barrier in the drive for fitness and health - and those who just like to relax and let the health-giving properties of steam rooms and jacuzzis do their stuff.

The facilities at Ashwells cater for both, as well as those who want to check themselves out by using the cardiograph - heart testing equipment.

The gymnasium, once the old farm stables, now boosts an impressive array of weight training equipment sufficient to push every muscle to its limit, before relaxing in the steam sauna, the jacuzzi, or simply bask in the real sunshine by the poolside, perhaps with an ice-cold mineral water from the bar.

It may be that your tastes are even more energetic - a game or two in the tennis courts perhaps and by arrangement with the Brentwood Rugby Club (close by) even squash facilities are available to members.

Health brings with it a "feel good" factor, and for the ladies the club beauty therapist is on hand to help; but it is not just the ladies who enjoy aerobics classes organised on site by the club's own experts. Classes can be joined, or organised, for both men and women (mixed even) to get themselves fit at their own speed.

Whether it's a workout at the gym, an hour or so on the court, or just having eased away the aches and pains in the steam or jacuzzi, club members are able to take full advantage of all the most up-to-date equipment and facilities.

In fitness and in health.
