The Hogarth is a leafy jewel set in two acres of beautifully maintained grounds. A verdant English garden, tended with care, protected from the traffic and pollution beyond. The Running Club sets off around the river; a game of tennis draws the eye; your personal trainer treats you to a refreshing drink having beaten all your goals. You might absorb the aroma of a barbecue or the lavender oil used in your massage. Welcome to The Hogarth Lifestyle.

Introduction

Our gymnasium is superbly equipped, naturally; but our main asset is our team of highly qualified physiologists, who have the time to look after you in a personal and professional manner. As a Hogarth full or off peak member, you receive 5 personal training sessions in your first month of membership. These are followed by one complimentary personal training session every month of your membership. Personal Training Xtra is available at a nominal charge.

Individual Approach

Whether you intend to use the gym or not, all members are invited to have an initial consultation. Here, a member of the gymnasium team - your exercise mentor - will carry out a brief health screen, a choice of relevant fitness measures, and having listened to your requirements and preferences, tailor an exercise programme to help you achieve your agreed goals. You will also be offered a complimentary cholesterol test and lypid screen.

Gym Equipment

Our fully equipped gymnasium has a full complement of treadmills, cross trainers, bikes, rowers as well as resistance training equipment and free weights.

Unlike other health clubs, at the Hogarth you will find that equipment is always available to you, without the need to queue.

Measured Success

As a gym user, you are given the opportunity to use our interactive Fitlinxx System which will guide you through your gym sessions and enable you to keep track of your overall progress.

Entertainment

Our gym is fully equipped with the Cardio Theatre audiovisual system, allowing you to keep up to date with the latest news, sport or music while you work out. On many of the cardiovascular machines there are personalised plasma screens and even individual DVD players on which you can watch your favourite movie whist burning away calories.

Nutritional Guidance

The Gymnasium team are happy to provide guidance and information on nutrition. Various approaches are provided including simple presentations of healthy eating, basic dietary plans, on-line calorie counting, through to performance diets. Most recently, metabolic profiling has been made available as an additional service which combines optimal dietary plans with optimal exercise routines.

Cholesterol Screening

The Gymnasium staff are now all qualified to carry out Cholesterol Screening and interpret the results for you during a normal room based appointment. If you have yet to have your cholesterol levels measured, or indeed have not had it measured in the past 12 months, all members are invited to participate in the screening process. The analysis is available as part of our ongoing commitment to providing a screening for coronary heart disease of which elevated cholesterol is a major risk factor.

For further information on cholesterol, pick up a cholesterol guide from the gymnasium. Please do approach a member of the Gymnasium team to arrange your appointment.
