Shapemaster Suite

Our Shapemaster Studio consists of power assisted exercise equipment which provides a ‘helping hand’ in a low impact, full-body workout circuit.

The equipment is great for a wide range of individuals, especially those with long term health conditions, mobility issues and disabilities. It is also great for individuals who are uncomfortable or anxious about the traditional gym environment.

We have a team at our community centre who work within the suite, Corinne, Penny or Lucy are our main members of staff who will meet you, induct you on the equipment and ensure you are comfortable in using the equipment. We also have aids to help on the machines which they will help you to use.

Our power assisted exercise technology provides a ‘helping hand’ in a low impact, full-body workout circuit for exercisers who demand to work smart and effectively. We provide a unique exercise and rehabilitation option for older adults and those living with long term conditions enabling them to exercise safely in a comfortable environment. 

All, these machines will improve balance, mobility, strength, cardiovascular fitness, support postural improvements, improve muscular strength and improve social and mental well being. All levels are most welcome as the machines allow you to work to your ability.

We have two Shapemaster classes a week which are included with a Shapemaster membership.
