Whether you’re planning a long weekend away, catching up with some sports or just hoping to bask in the sun’s rays during the next bank holiday weekend, now is the time to make sure you’ll be ready for extra steps on that city break, extra skills on the court or to look your best on the sun lounger!
Come and talk to a colleague in the gym or send an email to gym@roehamptonclub.co.uk to enquire about availability.
1. Raises your metabolism
Strength training is the one proven way to boost metabolism. A study titled Resistance Training is Medicine found that just 10 weeks can build lean muscle, raise resting metabolism, and reduce fat.
2. Builds bone density
Strength training does more than build muscle – it also strengthens bones. Weight-bearing exercises activate bone-forming cells, leading to denser bones and helping prevent age-related bone loss and fractures, especially in the wrists, hips, and ankles.
3. Improves mind-muscle connection
The mind-body connection in strength training means focusing deeply on the muscle you’re working. Visualising and feeling each movement – like during a bicep curl – can enhance muscle growth. Research also shows that consistent strength training may slow brain decline and boost memory and reasoning.
4. Strengthens joints
Worried about heavy weights harming your joints? Strength training is low-impact and strengthens muscles, ligaments, and joints. It also helps with weight loss, easing pressure on knees and reducing osteoarthritis risk and pain.
5. Benefits your heart and circulation
Fitness is about how efficiently your body delivers oxygen to muscles. Strength training boosts cardiovascular function by training your heart to pump more efficiently, increasing blood volume and haemoglobin, and improving capillary function around muscles

Please understand during busy periods it is kind to be mindful of other Members, try not to have lengthy recoveries unless needed and if possible, share equipment with others during your recoveries.
Studios classes are phone free zones, please refrain from using these while participating in a class. If it is an emergency, leave the class and use your phone in a designated phone area.
Remember the importance of wiping down equipment after use when in the gym. This protects yourself and others from becoming unwell and helps to keep the equipment in top shape for you to enjoy! There are cleaning wipes stationed around the gym, but should you struggle to locate one please speak to a member of the team who will be happy to help.
We are aware that Members would like to be able to perform some exercises without trainers on in the gym and have discussed safe options to allow for this. You can now remove your footwear to perform exercises (that are more effective without footwear) if you stay in one location. If you need to move to another location or vacate that spot to gather equipment you MUST put your footwear back on. Appropriate footwear must be worn when using cardiovascular and resistance machines at all times. Trainers / running shoes or adapted training shoes are considered appropriate footwear, sandals / Crocs/ Birkenstocks / Uggs or similar footwear is not considered appropriate. Members must also wear appropriate footwear when crossing the gym floor to get to a studio.
Junior gym guests (11-15years old) MUST undergo a gym induction before using the gym or they cannot be admitted for their own safety. If a Member plans to invite a Junior guest, it is advised to contact the Health Club Team and book them in for an induction to be delivered directly before they use the gym. The induction takes 30minutes and will not need to be repeated on subsequent visits.
