Getting Started

Taking the First Step

Thinking about joining a gym, trying an exercise class or going for a swim can feel like a big step.

Whether you’ve never exercised before, haven’t been active for years, or are simply looking to get back into a healthier routine, you’re not alone. Many of our members felt exactly the same way before they walked through our doors for the first time.

At L Leisure, we understand that getting started can be the hardest part. That’s why we’re here to support you every step of the way.

It’s Normal to Have Questions

You might be wondering:

  • Am I fit enough to join a gym?
  • What if I don’t know how to use the equipment?
  • What should I wear?
  • Will everyone be looking at me?
  • What if I can’t keep up in a class?

The truth is, most people who join us have had the same concerns. You don’t need to be fit to start. You don’t need expensive sportswear. You don’t need to know how to use every machine, and you certainly don’t need to be an expert.

You just need to take that first step.

A Friendly and Supportive Environment

Our gyms and exercise classes are welcoming spaces where people of all ages, abilities and fitness levels come together to improve their health and wellbeing.

You’ll find:

  • Friendly staff who are happy to answer questions
  • Qualified instructors who can help you get started safely
  • Exercise classes suitable for beginners
  • Members who are focused on their own goals, not judging others
  • A positive atmosphere where everyone is encouraged to succeed

Our team are here to offer a helping hand whenever you need it.

 

Start at Your Own Pace

There is no pressure to be perfect. You don’t have to spend hours in the gym. You don’t have to push yourself beyond your limits. Small, consistent steps can make a big difference. Whether that’s a short workout, a beginner-friendly class, or simply getting comfortable in a new environment, every bit of progress counts.

Remember, everyone starts somewhere.

What should I wear?

What should I wear?

You can wear whatever you like! What is important it that you are comfortable. We'd recommend a t-shirt, shorts and trainers, but you can wear whatever feels comfortable to you. Everyone has their own style!

How often should I be exercising?

How often should I be exercising?

Its always best to start off gently and build yourself up over time. To start with you might attend for 30 minutes in the gym, then over time attend a class, go for a swim and build that up to 3 or 4 sessions per week. There is no strict rule, you can attend whenever you like...anything is better than nothing!
