A new year is always a great opportunity to start afresh and make your goals happen, and Exeter’s new, state of the art leisure centre, St Sidwell’s Point, is the perfect location to kick-start those fitness resolutions.

As well as being good for your health, a work-out at St Sidwell’s Point’s cutting-edge gym is good for your mind too – the ultimate stress buster!

Why choose St Sidwell’s Point?

Offering panoramic views of the city, the gym at St Sidwell’s Point provides over 100 stations, a designated free weights area and group exercise zones – including a spin studio and two fitness studios.

Accomplish what you never thought possible using gym equipment supplied by the globally renowned Technogym - specifically chosen to give users a complete and uncompromised workout.

The comprehensive range of equipment includes a diverse set of cardiovascular machines, plate- and pin- loaded resistance equipment, and a multi-station functional rig, to suit your every need.

If you’re not ready for regular workout routines, or simply want to try it first, the good news is that there are pay-as-you-go options available, so why not pop along and give it a try!

Reward your hard work with a post-workout coffee

What better way to relax after a busy morning at the gym than over a cup of coffee with friends. In Exeter we certainly know how to do coffee, with a fantastic choice of independent cafes and coffee shops to pick from, serving the very best fresh, premium coffee going!
