Center Parcs Gym: What You Need to Know

There is a gym at every Center Parcs village in the UK. So, if you depend on your fitness routine, you can maintain it while at Center Parcs.

However, the gym at Center Parcs leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a small, uninspiring room with limited equipment and little atmosphere. Most importantly, there are no free weights at the Center Parcs gym. Instead, the gym is primarily cardiovascular equipment.

For this reason, I prefer to exercise outside the gym when I visit Center Parcs. The cost isn’t worth it when so many fantastic alternatives exist. Running or cycling around the Center Parcs village is a great way to get in some cardio.

Alternatively, consider exercising with some of the best activities at Center Parcs. Rock climbing, badminton, squash and tennis are great options.

That said, if you would still like to visit the gym at Center Parcs, here’s the essential information you need to know.
