Chance to see inside new-look health club

Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing Hemel Hempstead Club, on Maylands Avenue, is opening its doors to all on Saturday and Sunday, February 18 and 19.

Nuffield Health took ownership of the gym, along with 34 others, from Virgin Active last August, and since then a significant investment programme has taken place.

The gym has now been rebranded and facilities enhanced, with new clinic areas installed providing physiotherapy and health MOTs.

This weekend’s event aims to celebrate the launch of the new services and thank the public for their patience while the makeover has taken place.

Open to non-members as well as members, the event is a chance for visitors to enjoy free food and drink tasters from the café, mini health MOT checks measuring BMI, blood pressure and hip-to-waist ratio, and free goodie bags.

They can also take part in personal training tasters and fun gym floor challenges.

Visitors will also get a chance to tour the new physiotherapy clinic area, where appointments are available for both non-members and members without the need for a GP referral.

Nuffield Health’s free signature 12-point health MOTs for members will also take place in the new clinic rooms. This hour-long health check measures blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar level, BMI, resting heart rate, waist-to-hip ratio and aerobic fitness.

The Hemel Hempstead Fitness & Wellbeing Club will also be running a series of free Meet Our Experts events for non-members and members during the year.
