Training for Under 16s at Real World Fitness
At Real World Fitness, we’ve always aimed to make strength training accessible, safe, and properly guided for everyone. While our core membership is adult-focused, we know there are plenty of younger people who want to learn how to train properly, build confidence, and develop healthy habits early on.
That’s why we allow under-16s to train at RWF, under specific conditions that keep things structured, safe, and stay true to what makes our gym different.
Kids are welcome at RWF Gym – with a few sensible restrictions!
How It Works
Under-16s can train at Real World Fitness if they’re accompanied by a full-paying adult member at all times.
That means:
-
The adult must remain at the same station or piece of kit throughout the session.
-
The young person is under direct supervision, not just somewhere else in the gym.
-
Both are expected to follow our usual gym etiquette and respect the space.
The monthly fee for under-16 training is £20 per month, which includes full access when accompanied by their parent or guardian.
Why We Set It Up This Way
We’re a capped-membership gym with a strong community atmosphere. Every decision we make is about maintaining that and making sure the space is safe, welcoming, and never overcrowded.
By requiring direct supervision, we ensure younger members train safely, correctly, and confidently, while keeping the focus on learning proper technique and respect for training environments.
It’s also a chance for parents to set the right example. Training together shows young lifters that progress isn’t about shortcuts or ego, it’s about consistency, patience, and effort.
What This Isn’t
We’re not a youth club, and we’re not offering unsupervised teen sessions, and we don’t allow dropping them off and coming back later! That’s not fair to the child, or the other gym members.
Letting kids access a safe, friendly gym environment early in life helps with building great health habits
This setup is designed purely for parents or guardians who already train here – or want to get a membership here – and want to share the experience with their son or daughter in a structured, safe environment.
