For a small additional fee members and non-members can have use of the sun bed facilities provided by the club. The sun bed sessions are 6 minutes in duration. All cardio vascular equipment is connected to the cardio theatre, which allows members to view and listen to different digital television programs. We have three beauty therapy rooms with fully qualified beauty therapists and experienced alternative therapists. Full changing facilities are available with showers, toiletries, hair dryers and lockers, all at your disposal. Within Isenhurst we run a variety of Aerobic/Step/Spinning/Fighting Fit classes, which aim to achieve the same thing: To burn calories and fat. To improve your fitness by strengthening your heart and lungs.

To tone and strengthen your muscles. Classes are weight bearing activities and will help increase bone density, thus helping the delay of osteoporosis, especially in women. You will obtain an over all feeling of achievement and improve self confidence through doing classes. Because it would appear to make no immediate impact on your body shape, flexibility is often the forgotten element of fitness. In reality, it is just as important as aerobic efficiency and strength. Flexibility is measured by the range of motion (ROM) in your joints.

While athletes may need to improve their ROM in order to enhance performance, a certain amount of flexibility is important for everyone, simply in order to perform daily tasks efficiently. Once again, it is a common misconception that flexibility decreases with age. People of all ages can retain a high degree of flexibility, providing that they exercise and stretch regularly. The first step toward increasing flexibility is to relax. Avoid the ballistic or 'bouncing' approach to stretching which we often see on TV infomercials.
