The Health & Fitness Suite is home to the ground-breaking Techno-Gym System. The spacious, fully equipped, air-conditioned suite has over 2,000 sq. ft of space for users and over 30 pieces of fitness equipment. Westport Leisure Park was the first centre in Ireland to give its clients access to the same training programmes as used by leading football clubs in Italy, Spain and England.
The Techno-Gym system is also used extensively by drivers on the Formula One circuit. Each individual user of the system can have their own personal key on which their very own fitness programme is included. This special key brings you through your fitness programme each time you visit the gym, records all your training data and plots your progress.
All users of the facility can have a lifestyle assessment where a number of tests are carried out, and from the data gathered a fitness programme is indivually tailored for the client.
During 2007, Westport Leisure Park introduced a new multi-weights machine suitable for some wheelchair users. New free weights with tactile, colour-coded markings were also purchased.
Westport Leisure Park hosts a very extensive range of Fitness and Aerobic
Classes. Included are Pilates - Classes for both men and women, Aqua Aerobics, Step and Sculpt, Fit-Ball, Circuit Training for Men and Women, Body Tone, Kick-Boxing, Aikido, Sho-Ho-Jujitsu.
Weightwatchers is also held at the facility. All fitness classes are open to the public and are held in the Auditorium/Fitness Studio.
