Park and other participation events
I attend BodyBalance twice a week and the classes are led by Rebecca and Karly. This class is perfect for what I need….toning, stretching, flexibility to music. I like the fact that the routine changes every three months. Both teachers are good at explaining and demonstrating new moves and are always happy to spend time after the class answering any queries…
I’ve been a member at St Peters for over 5 years and over that time I’ve attended many classes run by Rebecca and Karly. The classes are great with a friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable and approachable staff. It’s a real family atmosphere at St Peters and although there are lots of other gyms available locally I wouldn’t move as I would miss the teaching staff and the great vibe.
The Instructors are knowledgeable, friendly and informative as well as being encouraging when participating in the many varied classes. The atmosphere within the facility is light clean and airy and covers many levels and studios including the swim and health suite. I am happy with the fees for membership and combined with the other sports facilities in the area, give exceptional value…
I’ve remained a member of St Peters for many years because of the great team of trainers, the variety of & ever-changing classes & its state of the art gym. The trainers are so enthusiastic, encouraging & knowledgeable & come to know you by name & your ability making you feel part of the team. Their friendliness & cheerfulness makes training fun…
I was encouraged to join the running club. Don’t ask me how I was persuaded, as I couldn’t even run to the top of the street! But I did, and with lots of encouragement, motivation and being believed that “I could do it” from the leisure centre staff, I have completed various 5k and 10k runs, with 3 half marathons under my belt, too.
I just wanted to say thank you to all the instructors at Padiham leisure centre for their continued support in getting me to my fitness goals. I absolutely love the varied classes that are on offer and I know I can attend any one of them and enjoy the class, enjoy the camaraderie and know that I will be pushed to my limits…
Equipment in the gym is everything you need right down to foam rollers/resistant bands etc. There are always staff members present who will help if needs be. Both gyms have plenty of weights so don’t have to wait for others to finish delaying your own routine..

I have been a member of the gym for ten years. The staff from the cleaners through to the instructors are very professional.

Staff in the gym give advice, use initiative and are approachable and interact with users. Karly showed the regulars and me how to use the TRX band and new equipment. I’m taken by all the instructors and the enthusiasm, knowledge and ability to make pain enjoyable is amazing.
I have been a member of Padiham Leisure Centre for the past 18 months and want to say how great the gym, activity studio and indoor cycling classes are. The staff, in particular Karly, Rebecca and Sarah, are very welcoming, knowledgeable and hardworking, and make the classes rewarding and fun (!).

Health and Fitness plays a huge part in my life. I have been a member of Burnley leisure for approx. 20 years and have seen it evolve into the huge success it now is.

I’ve been a member at Padiham leisure for the past 4 years, attending classes and gym sessions, including PT sessions. The staff are extremely friendly and always happy to help and the new gym facilities are excellent. The classes are fun, and trainers really motivate you. I am so much fitter than I have ever been.
I became a member in May 2011 after deciding to quit smoking. I remember my first class (BodyCombat) and feeling rather nervous, as I didn’t know anyone. The instructor made me feel extremely welcome, the class was great, and needless to say, I still go to the classes and I’ve made lots of new friends.
I’ve been a member of St. Peters centre for more than 4 years now and really enjoy it. I try to go 4 times a week, mainly to try to keep fit in general and prevent injuries to especially my back.

All the instructors are helpful friendly and professional full of enthusiasm doing their classes with a warm friendly approach that makes you feel you can achieve your goals and motivate you whilst still making it fun.
I received my induction for the gym by one of the staff members and instructors Karly. First of all I have to say Karly’s customer service is impeccable. I was quite nervous having never been a member or attended a leisure centre before but I had nothing to worry about. Karly was welcoming friendly and such a lovely genuine personality I was at ease immediately…
