Active Health and Fitness Suites
Discover Your Aspirations...
What makes you move when you exercise?
Park Road and Tottenham Green Leisure Centres are now offering you the opportunity to discover your optimum training programme with Technogym's aspiration mapping. Our Fitness Instructors can tailor your workout to more of what you enjoy doing and less of what you don't like doing, far beyond the realms of the gym environment.
This can include designing a training plan to include other activities such as exercise classes, sports, holistic and other more adventurous activities to get the most out of the time you have.
Try out the Aspirations Map now to be assessed on how you like to move and exercise by clicking on the aspiration link for your local centre, then speak to a member of our fitness team.
