The facility at East Durham Fitness is split into three main areas:

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING & HYROX

OPEN GYM

STUDIO CLASSES

What is Functional Training?

This is a question we get asked a lot! The best advise we can give is for you to come along and try a full week as every Functional Training session is very different - keeping your training ‘constantly varied’.

Functional training is a FUN, varied way of training that pushes your body to limits that you’ve never experienced before! The main focus of our Functional training programming is on developing the 10 components of fitness:

  • Cardiovascular Endurance

  • Muscular Endurance

  • Strength

  • Flexibility

  • Power

  • Speed

  • Coordination

  • Agility

  • Balance

  • Accuracy

What is Open Gym?

At East Durham Fitness we are able to offer members a dedicated area that doesn’t interfere with instructor led classes.
This is known as our ‘Open Gym’ area. This form of training is included as part of all membership packages.

Open Gym is available at all times when the gym is open and has a range of kit to suit your training needs:

  • Squat Racks

  • Olympic Lifting Platforms

  • Jerk Blocks

  • Olympic Bars & Bumper Plates

  • Cardiovascular kit – Ski Ergs, Rowers, Assault Bikes

  • Pull-up Rig

  • Plyometric Boxes

  • Boxing Equipment

  • BRAND NEW RESISTANCE TRAINING ROOM WITH TOP SPEC EQUIPMENT!

Training in Open Gym is an opportunity for you to perform some independent programming in an environment that doesn't interfere with normal group classes. A coach is always available to provide advice and support when needed.
