• Please note for gym usage: We offer two types of gym sessions for our junior members. The first allows a parent or guardian with a valid Active Leicester membership to accompany the junior member to the gym at any time during our operating hours. The second option provides bookable sessions supervised by our qualified fitness instructors, with no requirement for a parent or guardian’s presence. A gym induction, which is bookable in advance, must be attended before access is granted.
