withington leisure centre

I joined the centre when I moved to Manchester because of its convenience. There are around 5 classes a night including boxercise, aerobics, LBT, aqua aerobics and body conditioning.
It seems to be the same woman who runs them all, so they are quite similar. There is a guy who does the boxing ones and cardio classes.
It is a really nice centre set in an old building — doesnt look like a gym from the outside. Inside they have one gym hall which has lots of weights, resistance bands, steps and exercise bars. All the classes I have been to I have really enjoyed — would be nice if she got a different cd though!
The gym upstairs is good — plenty of equipment. It tends to get a bit busy at around 5.30 to 7 but thats to be expected from any gym I guess.
They also have a 25m swimming pool that I have only used once but enjoyed using it. There is a sauna, lockers and changing rooms.
They have kids lessons and ladies only swimming and sauna sessions. There is a vending machine as well.
In the gym they have all the usual weights, rowers, treadmills, cross trainers and bikes unfortunately no steppers. A good friendly gym if you dont want the craziness of a massive city centre gym.
I paid £209 for a years student membership but they also have a 9 month one.
