Contact
To contact the gym team, phone or text 07742 447554.
Changing facilities
There are male and female changing and shower facilities
which are available at all times EXCEPT when in use by
the football club for home matches when the rooms become
used as home and away dressing rooms for both teams.
This is usually alternate Sundays during the football
season.
How does it work?
Run by a small voluntary committee of Audlem residents,
Audlem Community Gym is a health and fitness facility
housed in the public hall annexe provided for the
benefit of the residents of the parishes of Audlem,
Buerton and Hankelow.
The air-conditioned facility is accessed via the white
staircase to the side of the public hall (facing the
playing field and tennis courts). With 6 pieces of
cardio equipment (2 treadmills, 2 cycles, a rower and a
cross trainer), complemented by an array of weights and
strength training kits, the gym caters for all of your
fitness needs. Although we do not provide on-site
supervision, the facility is inspected for safety and
cleanliness daily.
The joining process
You will need to complete the application form (download
a *.pdf with the link below left. Also available at
Williams Newsagent) and return it to Williams Newsagent
in the village centre. We will then contact you with
details of the next available group induction session,
which usually runs monthly. At the induction (which is
compulsory) you will be provided with your membership
number, payment details and a small keyring fob which
you will use to access the gym.
Can I have personal training?
You will be given basic instructions as to how to safely
use each piece of kit at the group induction session. If
you would like some more detailed instruction or a
personalised training programme, you are free to contact
the gym's retained personal trainer who will be happy to
make suitable arrangements for you.
Membership/payment options
Our aim is to provide a facility that is affordable as
well as convenient. Payment can be made monthly by
standing order or annually by bank transfer.
Concessions are available for those in full-time
education. For those students who move away for parts of
the year to college and university but would like to use
the gym during holidays and occasional trips home, we
offer a category of membership called Student Away.
With this option, you will pay a significantly reduced
monthly fee, but you will be eligible to use the gym all
year round.
You will need to provide documentation to show that you
are genuinely living away from home for large parts of
the year.
We regret that, due to the administration involved, we
cannot offer intermittent membership. Both monthly and
annual memberships may be terminated at any time but if
you then wish to re-commence within 6 months of the
termination, the intervening months' fees will be
payable.
Mobility issues
For those who need stair-free access, there is a lift
available which can accommodate a wheelchair. If you
tick the box on the application form indicating that you
would need assistance with using the stairs to exit the
gym in the event of an emergency, we will draw up a
personal plan with you for this contingency.
Younger members
All Audlem residents aged 16 or over are welcome to
join. However, for safeguarding reasons, if you are
under 18 we will need your parent or other responsible
adult to undertake to accompany you whenever you use the
gym.
