Activ8 at Thornaby Pavilion

 Thornaby Pavilion is situated in a vibrant town centre that has just been transformed through a multi million pound refurbishment.

The shopping arcade is now a modern and thriving place giving our members the choice to combine a pampering session at the salon or a shopping trip with their workout and fitness regime. Thornaby Pavilion is a multi-purpose leisure complex offering activities for the whole famil. The centre offers free car parking and is linked to excellent road access.

Gym
The state of the art fully equipped Technogym facility holds over seventy pieces of equipment in a fully air-conditioned, contemporary environment. 

This was a major transformation from the previous eighteen-station gym that could only cater for up to twenty people at a time. Opening hours were extended to meet the changing needs of our customers and a full team of knowledgeable and friendly staff were employed to staff the gym at all times. 

Phase One Saw the successful transformation of a section of the bowls rink into a purpose built, state of the art 70+station gym.

Cardio
The 70+ station gym boasts a staggering 14 treadmills and over 25 pieces of the most up to date cardiovascular equipment. Our other cardiovascular stations include steppers, cardio waves, cross trainers and bikes.

All cardiovascular stations are equipped with TV and iPod entertainment systems and an extensive range of training programmes to assist you with your workout.

Dedicated Free Weight Area
Phase one saw the introduction of a much needed free weight area to Thornaby Pavilion’s health and fitness provision. Our dedicated free weight area offers an extensive selection of dumbbells and barbells for strength and tone work. Comfortable, well-padded, adjustable benches are available to use from flat to incline dependent on your training regime. Cable pulley equipment, smiths’ machines and multi function upper body stations are also located in the free weight area enabling you to focus on every aspect of weight training.

Resistance
Our resistance stations offer an extensive range of muscular endurance equipment for both the upper and lower body. Resistance training is the best form of exercise to tone up, improve your body shape and increase strength.

Stretch Area
This designated area will help you to train your core muscles, increase flexibility and suppleness as well as help you stretch off those tired muscles. This is an essential part of any gym and an important addition to anyone’s workout, Bosu boards, fit balls, medicine balls and mats all complete this multi-purpose space.

Gym Changing Area
High quality changing facilities offer stylish surroundings to prepare for, or unwind from, your workout. Immaculately maintained to meet the highest standards possible, here you will find vanity stations complete with hairdryers and mirrors. Brand new, spacious lockers are available for your belongings offering customers all of the modern facilities of a private gym.

Phase Two Will enhance the members experience with refurbished fitness studios, improved access areas and a modern café to unwind and relax with friends.

Access
Our Club will soon be fully inclusive to accommodate mobility-impaired members with the introduction of a brand new lift and refurbished ramp area. The gym facility is all on one level and spacious so mobility-impaired members can move around freely and easily.

Changing Facilities
General sports users and fitness class participants will benefit from refurbished changing and shower facilities. Located on the second floor of the Pavilion the improved facility will be easily accessible by lift and stairs. Brand new male and female disabled changing areas will be available with adapted shower and toilet facilities.

Our spacious changing areas will offer all of the modern conveniences such as hair dryers, mirrors and vanity units. Bench seating will also be available with coat hooks for clothing. A new locker area will also be created outside the changing facilities to store all your belongings.

Fitness Classes
Refurbishment of the fitness studios is now complete, members will see additional classes to the programme in the coming months. The already packed fitness programme will be expanded to include three fitness studios and offer more choice and availability for users.

The fitness programme has evolved over the last year with the introduction of new and exciting group exercise classes such as Pump fx and Spinning.
