Cardio training is great for your heart and lungs, whilst resistance training is great for improving strength and muscle tone. Ask one of the fitness instructors to create a personal exercise programme specifically for you.

The health suite offers a sauna and steam room for you to enjoy – relax tired and aching muscles and rejuvenate your body and mind.

At Manchester Aquatics Centre we have introduced passes for disabled teenagers aged 16 to 19 to allow free access to indoor leisure. We focus on monthly swimming sessions for families with disabled young people. The aim of these sessions is to give the young people confidence to use swimming pools. Contact us for more information.
