What ever your level or ability Pirate Fitness has a gym programme to help you reach your goals and renew your enthusiasm for the gym.
At Pirate’s we are continually looking to raise the standard of instruction we provide our members.

Pirate Fitness has devised several ways to help you gain the most from your exercise regime and keep your workouts fresh and interesting, with various ways of monitoring progression. Below are some of the programmes available to Pirate Fitness members.

Getting Started

Pirate Fitness ensures all new members are shown how to use all equipment safely using the most appropriate and effective methods.

At Pirate Fitness we try to give our members 3 appointments before they are let loose on their exercise programmes and schedules.

Appointment 1: Induction
A 35-45 minute session to introduce you to the gym equipment. How to set up and use the cardio vascular and fixed resistance machines safely and effectively.

Appointment 2: Fitness Profile
This assessment will determine your current level of fitness. The fitness assessment covers all aspects including cardio vascular, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, body fat and all girth measurements. The assessment will help to prescribe the correct intensity of your gym programme.

Appointment 3: Exercise Programme
Based on the results from the fitness assessment and your own personal goals an instructor will produce a structured exercise programme for you to follow. The length of the session can vary depending on the individual.

All programmes are monitored after every visit and reviewed on a regular basis to keep your workouts effective and interesting.
