COMMUNITY GYM
Belford Community Gym offers you the chance to keep fit right here in the village. The Gym, situated by the Fire Station, has been running for over 10 years, with support from Belford Community Group. Membership is open to residents of the village and surrounding areas who are over 18 years of age. Once you are a member, you can access the Gym whenever suits you because it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We have a wide range of equipment, including:
Cardio Equipment: 2 treadmills, rowing machine, cross trainer, sit down bike, solo bike and step machine.
Fixed Weights: multi press, cable pull, leg curl and sit-up bench.
Free Weights: dumbbells, kettle bells and 2 benches.
All our equipment is serviced, maintained and safety checked regularly.
Costs
Subscription is currently £10 per month, payable by standing order. There is also a joining fee of £10, which partially covers the cost of your induction and your electronic key-fob.
If you are unable to pay by standing order, please contact us at belfordcommunitygym@outlook.com or on 07887 868710 to discuss whether an alternative arrangement is possible.

- Set up your payments. You will need to be allocated a fob number before setting up your standing order. We will contact you by email with your fob number and with instructions for setting up your standing order and arranging your induction.
- Complete your induction. All gym members must complete an induction so that they receive all the required safety information and understand their responsibilities as members of a Community Gym. This ensures that all our members are covered by insurance in case of accidents and that the gym and its equipment are properly insured. Once you have completed your induction (1 hour) and signed the checklist which confirms you have received and understood the safety instructions for using the Gym, you will receive your fob and you can start using the Gym.

Get involved with running and improving the Gym
In December 2023, the BCG signed a twenty-year lease on the building ensuring that these facilities can be used for the foreseeable future. The Gym Committee meets monthly and is responsible, together with the Belford Community Group Trustees, for the maintenance and development of the gym. We are currently working on organising the renovation of a side room at the Gym, which will become an area for warming up, stretching, floor exercises, etc. We are keen to further develop the facilities and equipment available to continue to make it a real community asset and we welcome interested individuals getting involved to help us with:
- Running day to day operations
- Funding applications
- Marketing and promotions
- Co-ordinating repairs, quotes and contractors
- Plans and ideas for future development projects in the gym.
