Looking to stay active and have fun? Then you’ve come to the right place. At Elswick Community Pool & Gym, we offer a variety of fitness classes designed for all levels, from energising cardio workouts to relaxing yoga sessions. Below, you’ll find a full list of our fitness classes along with the timetable—so you can find the perfect session to fit your schedule.
Pilates
Pilates can be a great point of entry to exercise. Firstly, it’s essentially a series of targeted movements that focus on balance, posture, strength and flexibility. Secondly, Pilates is a low impact exercise that’s easy on the joints and is one of the most effective forms of exercise for arthritis and suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. Pilates classes are held on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. Additionally, the Monday morning class is ‘women only’.
Yoga
Yoga exercises consist mainly of postures, often connected by flowing sequences, breathing exercises and ending with relaxation, lying down, or meditation. Unlike Pilates where the focus is on strength, Yoga focuses on stretching. Additionally, it is great for mindfulness – yoga heals the soul. Our yoga classes are held on Monday mornings, Wednesday morning, and both Friday and Saturday mornings.
Legs, bums and tums
‘Women only’ class with exercises specifically targeted on your bottom half, expect a good workout to tackle those wobbly areas. Moreover, this class is aimed at developing muscle tone and strength in a feel-good environment. Lastly, legs, bums and tums is suitable for all levels of ability and it takes place on Tuesday mornings.
Booty Bands Toning
Get ready to tone, sculpt, and strengthen with our brand-new Booty Band Toning Class. This dynamic, low-impact workout uses resistance bands to target your glutes, legs, and core, helping you build strength, improve definition, and boost endurance—all while keeping it fun and high-energy! Every Monday evening.
Aquafit
How do you fancy an aerobics class in the pool? Aquafit is high energy and fun, great for improving wellbeing, burning fat and boosting your energy. Exercising in water is a great way to reduce strain or impact on your joints. Most importantly, you don’t need to be a swimmer to take part as your feet will always be able to touch the ground. Great for all ages and abilities who like moderate exercise. Lastly, there’s a ‘women only’ class on Monday morning and everyone is welcome on Monday evening, Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. Jump in and enjoy!
Deep Aquafit
Deep aquafit exercises are done in the deep end of the pool, your feet don’t touch the ground so you’re really working out. Similar to standard aquafit, but with additional swimming elements for a more intense workout. Additionally, you’ll burn more calories and will need to be a confident swimmer. A great workout without traumatic impact on the joints. Two classes a week – Wednesday evenings and Thursday mornings – enjoy!
