Our emphasis is on providing excellent service and improving facilities whilst remaining great value for money.
Our aim is to offer a club experience where our members feel valued and not intimidated, and our focus is on helping them to achieve their fitness goals.
Challenge Active has been open for 15 years. Originally based in Bishops Stortford town centre, we are now located in Spellbrook, just outside of the town where we have been for the last 6 years.
We have an extensive range of cardio, resistance and free weights equipment, a dedicated Ladies Only area, a 1200 square foot exercise studio, sauna and Aurora sunbed.
We will ensure you are given a full induction with one of our friendly trainers and have your own workout program designed specifically for you. We’ll then encourage you to book a program review every 4 – 6 weeks to keep you on track and moving closer towards your goals!
Our great value all-inclusive memberships mean you can enjoy a friendly and professional service without breaking the bank. Open 7 days a week and with no on or off peak hours you can train anytime, participate in all exercise classes and enjoy two free sunbed sessions per week! So why not check out this month’s membership offers? What have you got to lose?!
See what our members have got to say about us…
After being a member at Challenge for a year I would recommend the gym to anyone. The staff are friendly and always up for a chat or a laugh but also give you advice, help and encouragement. There’s plenty of equipment to help shed the pounds, or gain muscle and its always in good working order.
Ben, Aged 22
I’d never been a member of a gym before as I have felt too out of shape to even walk into one. However after being told by a friend about the ladies only area at Challenge, I thought I’d take a look.
The staff were so friendly and made me feel at ease. Tamara did my induction, wrote me a program and made sure I knew how to work the equipment.
I have now been a member for 6 months and have lost 10lbs! It’s something I wish I had done years ago and would recommend Challenge to anyone.
Sarah, Aged 32
I have been attending Challenge Gym for about 8 years now. I am feeling very fit and a lot better for the workouts on a regular basis. It is a friendly and fun place to train and keep fit!
Alan, Aged 67
As a complete novice I joined the Challenge Active Gym in March 2005 and was delighted to find that the help and advice that I required was generously given. The young trainer that I had was both knowledgeable and professional in his approach to getting me fitter, and able to train without supervision.
Being older than the usual member, I was particularly keen to increase my general fitness with the aim of supplementing my keen hobby of cycling.
Now four years later, and having come successfully through several episodes of various major surgery and making a rapid recovery, all thanks to my fitness which I have achieved mainly at Challenge.
What with the friendly and sociable atmosphere, I have made many friends and acquaintances, and as such instead of dreading the future, feeling as I do without any health problems, (no tablets or medication) I embrace the future.
