One week, no card
Come to as many classes as you like for seven days. If it isn't for you, tell us and that's the end of it — we won't chase you.
I've never touched a barbell
Good. Barbell club runs a beginners block every six weeks and you will spend the first fortnight on an empty bar learning to move. Nobody here started knowing what they were doing.
Is there parking?
Twelve free spaces in the yard, plus covered bike storage for about twenty bikes. Sheffield station is a fifteen-minute walk.
Can I pause my membership?
Any month, free, from your account. Injured, travelling, skint — we don't ask which.
