Fitness Studio
As a nation we are more and more concerned about the state of the nations’ health and fitness, especially the lack of exercise children are involved in and the ever-increasing numbers of overweight children and adults alike.
In 2006 Stanway School spent over £50,000.00 in setting up a Fitness Studio comprising; 16 Cardio Vascular Machines, 12 Life Fitness Strength Stations and a Free Weights area. This facility would also be used by the P.E. Department for their Fitness component in years 9, 10 and 11. There is a large floor/stretch area to accommodate these P.E. Groups.
For Health and Safety reasons Qualified Fitness Instructors have to be employed to operate the facility, therefore a small fee has to be charged, which is much cheaper than other facilities in the area. We Endeavour to cover the cost of instructors, maintenance and servicing and any profit it will go back into the school for the benefit of the students.
Our aim at Stanway Fitness Studio is to provide affordable fitness to all members of the Local community to access (14years +), give sound educational instruction in a safe, friendly and motivational environment, resulting in increased general health and fitness levels.
There is a discounted price for Stanway School students, their families and the staff of the school (School Associates)
Working in partnership with local schools in the Stanway area the intention is to provide the local community access to a health and fitness facility that is educationally based and affordable. Not all children enjoy team games, so now there is the opportunity for parents who are concerned about their non-active and overweight children with poor activity levels to find them an alternative exercise option and give them confidence to move on to the next level of health and fitness. Let obesity be a thing of the past!

The Stanway School Increases Fitness Levels in Teenagers
We are targeting the 14 + age group, giving them the knowledge and opportunity to experience individual fitness programmes. By taking part, we are encouraging these students to adopt a more positive attitude and understanding of health and fitness, improving their personal levels of fitness and gaining the physical benefits. We hope that these students will take this knowledge and experience with them as they become adults and pass on the need to be fit and healthy to the next generation.Working in partnership with local schools in the Stanway area the intention is to provide the local community access to a health and fitness facility that is educationally based and affordable.
