Community Gym

This is a gym based at Darnall Education Centre. We have received funding from Sports and Recreation to buy some of the equipment, and Sheffield College provides the space free of charge.

The gym is open 4 days a week catering for men and ladies sessions only. Two local residents who are both Fitness suite instructors run it. We have 160 member on the books and have an average 20 people per session.

We provide an induction for all members and an exercise if they wish. We have various pieces of equipment, which include 2 treadmills; exercise bikes, cross trainers, steppers, air walkers, rowing machine and much more.

The gym is attended by a cross section from the community these include, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Somali, English and some refugees from various countries.

The ladies gym is also complimented by an aerobics session that runs alongside the gym so the ladies can chose what they would like to do.

The men's sessions are split into an Elders session and a session for youths which seems to work well and again came through consultation with these groups.

We are always looking for new pieces of gym equipment and welcome all donations.
