Hide AdMost of the gyms provide one-to-one training with specially taylored workouts to meet the needs of the individual, or you can just drop in and do your own thing.
Since New Year's Day there has been a steady increase in users at Aaron's Gym - both new and old, male and female, of all age groups.
Aaron says one of the goals of his gym is to provide users with a sense of physical, mental and emotional well-being while making the experience enjoyable.
He explained that they worked closely with other organisations in the community, as he firmly believes it is important to give back to the community.

Retaining muscle strength is very important and training can help older people rebuild and maintain muscle. “Don’t lose it, use it” said Aaron.
