Whether you are just starting out or a gym regular, this is your space dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, push your limits, and embrace a healthier lifestyle.
Whether you’re looking to build your strength, tone muscles, improve flexibility or simply have fun while getting fitter, our classes offer something for everyone – from high-energy workouts to lower paced gentle sessions in the studios or pool. We’ve even got a dedicated indoor cycling studio.
Our group exercise classes bring people together, promoting not only physical wellbeing but also a supportive and fun social environment too. So, grab your water bottle, towel, and positive attitude – let’s smash those fitness goals together!
FREE Swim Sessions. Please check your local pool timetable to see when we run these sessions. All you need to do is sign up for your FREE Halo card at Reception and swipe it each time you want to attend one of our free swimming sessions.
We’ve helped thousands of babies, children, teens and adults to love the water. We see them grow into capable and confident swimmers. Our trained instructors take all abilities and access needs into consideration, ensuring everyone can learn this valuable life skill.
The hydrogym sees equipment that you exercise on in the water. It gives people of all ages and all levels of fitness the reassurance that the water environment will protect them, while they benefit from a full body workout to strengthen and tone muscles. We’ll provide a full induction to start you off.
It’s all about exercising the entire body but without arduous effort! It has been called “stress free exercise” as it provides a far more relaxing workout than high impact, heavy sweating gym sessions.
Halo Heights indoor climbing wall at Bridgend Life Centre is an exciting and exhilarating activity for all the family. With over 20 routes to choose from, it offers fun physical and mental challenges for adults and children (7+). The climbs are ever changing so there will always be a fresh challenge every time you visit!
Halo Heights has a variety of climbs rated from easy through to demanding and is designed to accommodate all ages and levels of ability. All specialist equipment required is provided on site and our friendly climbing instructors will be on hand to supervise and guide you and will provide heaps of encouragement to ensure you get the most from your Halo Heights experience.
Enjoy an oh-so-relaxing visit to our health spa where you can enjoy the steam room, sauna, ice room, hot ceramic lounge beds, feature shower and treatment rooms. The perfect wind down to your workout in the gym, pool or group exercise class.
Boditrax allows you to check up on your workout progress. We know you feel good when you work out. But however good it feels, you don’t always know what it’s actually doing to your body (inside and out) or, indeed, whether you are reaching your goals. Boditrax can change that.
A lifesaver if you are looking to keep your little ones busy, and always a treat for them (and you). Our holiday activities give children the opportunity to meet and make friends, discover new interests, explore and try out new sports and activities, and stay fit and healthy.
Bouncing, spinning, rolling – your children are already natural-born gymnasts. So if you want to help them develop their physical skills, what better place to start than lessons for 3 years+ at Bridgend Life Centre.
Halo’s birthday party selection is the secret to the happiest day without the hassle of entertaining a crowd at home. Let your kids climb, splash or bounce around with friends in a safe, supervised arena. Just sit back, take photos, and store away some lovely memories.
Rest assured that our friendly exercise professionals will find an activity that’s just right for you and then offer one-to-one support to gently increase your activity levels and improve your overall health.
The library has a wonderful range of adult, young adult and children’s books. It also has spaces to study, a fun children’s library, free Wi-Fi, and computers. There are lots of activities and events for all ages to enjoy in the library, as well as a huge range of free eBooks and eAudiobooks you can download and enjoy while using the gym or out and about.

Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]
