Sturfit is a not-for-profit charity, managed by Roger Teasdale on behalf on the Sturfit Trustees, as a resource for the local community. We run almost exclusively on the strength of our community volunteers and unpaid voluntary trustees – and we’re always glad of offers of help!
In a class, the instructor will sit on a bike in front, facing a room full of people – each on their own bike. The room is darkened, there are flashing disco lights, lasers, a fog machine and the music is LOUD to help motivate the exercisers!
Step aerobics moves range from simple to advanced. The most basic is a step-up, step-down. Once you get more experienced, you will do moves that take you over the top and around the step forwards, sideways, and backwards.
Hatha Yoga is a type of Yoga in which the main emphasis is on physical exercises, poses or asanas, also breathing exercises (pranayama) and relaxation. The consciousness of the body, mind, and spirit of unity.
I’m a fitness loving mum of 3 & I live in Henstridge with my partner, children, cat & dog! I’ve had a growing interest in fitness for the past 20 years and finally decided it was the right time to take it to the next level.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Just started to go there with my friend after two years of absence because of Covid and we are really surprised of new equipment which is absolutely stunning! Stuff is very very helpful and fully trained also other people coming in are very friendly. Could say more but is better if you just go there! You will be not disappointed
Thank you for such a great review
Fantastic experience: Really great, small gym! Got many equipment and classes available during the week, if you want to burn some calories then this is easy choice!
Thankyou Kinga, very happy to hear you are enjoying the centre!
Negative experience: Really dissatisfied and disappointed of this leisure centre. First of all, there is really lots of people going which means that there is no space to have workout. Why gym is not open from 7am to 8pm then? Maybe it's time to find someone who can cover break time and let people go at all time than choosing from busy hours... second of all, I tried to get (and buy!) A perso al training and the answer which I got really made me feel disappointed. The trainer said that gym has lots of equipment which will help me get healthier and stronger and I should try it first on my own rather than buying a plan with personal trainer! If I will want to do some exercises on my own then I would not ask for the plan!! Sturfit, please let think about finding someone who would cover break time, it will reduce taking all space at gym and maybe you will get new members who can only come at this time.
Sorry to hear you are disappointed with the Leisure Centre, you are not on our member database so assume you must be using a false name. We do have periods in the gym that are busier than others but even at our busiest times there is still equipment available for use and there is only ever a short wait to get on a particular piece of equipment. There are plenty of really quiet periods within our opening hours too (which are 0700-1300 and 1630-2030 Monday to Friday and 0800-1200 weekends), the busiest time is 1630-1830 but all other times are much quieter. With regards to the personal training I believe you have misunderstood what was said to you, I see from another of your reviews that English may not be your first language so perhaps it was lost in translation - apologies. We give a lot of advice to people when they join during their induction, this advice is usually enough to get people started on their gym journey and saves them spending money on Personal Training unnecessarily (1 hour of which costs roughly the same as a month of gym membership). If you are able to get back to the gym and wish to pursue personal training then we will help you get set up with a trainer who has availability. Unfortunately, it is not viable to keep the gym open throughout the whole day as the staffing costs alone would outweigh any customer revenue. You'll find that most gyms (if they do remain open all day) have a big drop off in numbers in the afternoons. That is why Sturfit took the business decision to close during that period.
Fantastic experience: Lovely and clean
Fantastic experience: Lovely place to visit
Positive experience: Went here just for the gym. Definitely not a body building gym, but good enough to go and burn some calories. Good amount of cardio machines, limited weight facilities. Friendly staff. Well run post covid.
Fantastic experience: Great value for money, helpful staff and very pleasant community feel.
Fantastic experience: Great centre with good equipment and facilities. Key for me is the friendliness of the other people exercising, and also of the staff and their willingness to offer advice and support when I need it. I really enjoy going there - must be good to motivate me to go there to exercise.
Positive experience: To be honest, staff are helpful, there is really good equipment to use, fresh water to get, clean towels. 3 stars because of not enough space to do training. It's some days when is really lots of people and making progress is impossible. Equipment is nice, but really poor, I'm guessig because is not enough space to get more. I'm disappointed of lockers, because all the time you need to go up and get a special coin, just because these lockers need old pounds what is completely useless. I'm sure that more comfortable could be if you can swipe your gym card on bottom of the gym than walking up, swiping going down and putting card in locker (I don't feel comfortable taking card with me when I'm doing training)
Hi Cherry Kinn, sorry to hear that your disappointed with equipment, we have a good range of equipment suitable for all, its up to date and extreemly well maintained and we are constantly updating where we can. The wattbikes were a recent expensive addition and we have a new Smith machine coming soon. As a small charity run community centre funds and staff are limited but we do try our best to keep everyone happy. However you are correct we are limited on space, which we are hoping to rectify in the very near future - watch this space! I do appreciate that sometimes in busy periods you may have to wait to get on a bit of kit, this does show however that the gym is very popular of which we are very proud to provide such a wonderful service to our local community. we are open from 7am in the morning and you will find the morning sessions are much quieter if you feel you could benefit from this. If you wish to leave your card upstairs on the gym desk or in the designated draws while you workout, as many others do, this saves having to take back downstairs, just speak to a member of staff who will be happy to help you. Upgrading all our lockers is something we are aslo looking to do in the not too distant future. We hope you will continue to enjoy the services we provide, but if you have any questions at all or need any help, then please don't hesitate to speak to a member of our friendly team.
