Classes

Here at the Waterside we have such an amazing studio offering, with over 100 classes a week there is so much variety and choice. We do know however, that at times it can be confusing selecting the right classes to suit your needs. To help with this the timetable provides class descriptions of each class, along with further information on the app and website to help you; but did you know, you can also access the On Demand section on the app?

The beauty of using the On Demand section allows you to see and physically experience the content of some of our most popular classes, before attending in person-giving you a better idea of what the class might include. It also means you can workout at anytime and anywhere, all you need is access to the app. Additionally, we cover information on classes within our Find Your Fit Social events, which are held on the last Tuesday of every month @7pm and the first Wednesday of every month @1.30pm in the restaurant. Our Find Your Fit team are always on hand to answer any questions like this and provide the information you need to get the most out of your membership.
