Membership includes unlimited use of the gym facilities, so you're not restricted to off-peak times and can train when suits you best, too.
Exercise classes at Leisure at Cheltenham
With a packed timetable of exercise classes, there's the chance to try conditioning classes like step aerobics, interval-based HIIT classes for both strength and cardio, and get a sweat on in the cycling studio for a spin-style workout — plus many more.

Swimming pools at Leisure at Cheltenham
Leisure at Cheltenham members also get unlimited access to its 33-metre indoor swimming pool, including lane swims for practicing your lengths, as well as public sessions for those who want to swim more freely.
In addition to the main pool, there's a separate training pool which holds splash and swim sessions for families, ideal for introducing young children and non-swimmers to the water.
Access to the athletics track at Leisure at Cheltenham
A real perk for runners, Leisure at Cheltenham has its own outdoor sports stadium, the Prince of Wales, with an eight lane, 400-metre running track — perfect for sprinters, as well as long-distance runners looking to incorporate more interval and tempo training into their running.
One hour sessions are bookable online.
Wellness suite at Leisure at Cheltenham
What better way to unwind after a challenging workout than with a soak in the jacuzzi? Members can kick back in Leisure at Cheltenham's very own wellness suite, with a tranquil vibe and loungers to chill out on.
Available for use by members and pay-as-you-go customers, there's no need to book — simply turn up and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Flexible gym membership options at Leisure at Cheltenham
Choose from a wide range of memberships to suit your needs and lifestyle. The standard membership is pretty comprehensive, though the enhanced, platinum membership option adds perks like free badminton and squash bookings and complimentary fruit.
Just starting out? You can pay monthly with continuous membership options — or save by locking into an annual membership, once you're ready to commit. There's also separate membership options for 16- to 17-year-olds, students and concessions, which all cost less than adult memberships to make the leisure centre more accesible for all.
Leisure at Cheltenham is family friendly
From confidence-boosting swimming lessons for little ones as young as four months, to having fun with floats, letting loose in the splash pad or bouncing around the soft play, Leisure at Cheltenham offers plenty for young children, with an inclusive, family-friendly approach.
The leisure centre also offers free parking right outside, which makes herding the kids to swimming lessons that little bit easier!
Leisure at Cheltenham memberships support The Cheltenham Trust
Finally, members at Leisure at Cheltenham are actively contributing to the local community by supporting The Cheltenham Trust, the charity which runs the leisure centre.
By becoming a member, you're financially supporting the trust's mission to make leisure more accessible to local people, improving Cheltenham residents' overall health and wellbeing.
