Building strength
Combine strength machines and free weights, training each major muscle group a couple of times a week.
Train with intent.
Training at the Den
Three zones, one floor: strength machines and cables, a free-weight area, and a cardio line-up. Here is what each one offers.
01The floor
Equipment you can see, goals you can name.
Walk onto the training floor and the structure is clear: machines and cable stations along the walls, barbells and dumbbells on a rubber-floored area, and a cardio line beside the windows.
This page only describes what the gym’s photographs show. Services that rely on staff — such as personal training, group sessions or programme design — are listed separately further down as items to confirm with the team.
01
Strength training
Selectorised machines and cable stations guide the movement, which makes them a friendly way to learn how each muscle group should feel when it is working. Plate-loaded stations add heavier options as you progress.
- Start with lighter loads and focus on control.
- Learn two or three machines per session.
- Increase weight gradually once form is steady.

02
Free-weight training
The free-weight area is set on black rubber flooring, with a rack of fixed barbells (straight and curl bars), dumbbells along the mirrored wall and benches nearby. It is the classic setting for compound lifts and accessory work.
- Warm up before heavier sets.
- Rack weights back after every set.
- Ask a team member if you are unsure about a lift.

03
Cardio training
A row of treadmills sits beside a stair climber and exercise bikes, under a ceiling of pin-point lights and beside brick-effect walls and windows. Use it for warm-ups, steady endurance work or conditioning.
- Begin at an easy pace and build up.
- Mix machines to keep sessions interesting.
- Cool down before you stretch.

03Your goal
Where to start.
Match your goal to a zone, then ask the team how to get going.
General guidance only. Results vary, and this is not medical or coaching advice.
Improving general fitness
Pair cardio sessions with a short machine circuit so stamina and strength grow together.
Developing a consistent routine
Pick fixed days and times, keep sessions simple, and let the habit settle before adding more.
Supporting an active lifestyle
Short, regular sessions on the cardio line and a few resistance exercises can fit around a busy week.
Feeling confident in training
Ask for a walk-through, learn a couple of machines at a time and keep a note of what you did.
04Training options
What’s confirmed, and what to ask.
Equipment-based training
Strength machines and cable stations, a free-weight area with barbells, dumbbells and benches, and cardio equipment including treadmills, a stair climber and exercise bikes.
Staff-led services
Personal training, group or functional sessions, programme design, nutrition guidance and new-member inductions. We have not listed these as available because none have been confirmed.
05First time?
Ask for a walk-through of the floor.
Seeing the zones in person is the quickest way to feel comfortable. Send an enquiry and ask what is on offer for new members.
06Training FAQ
Training questions.
The photographs show selectorised strength machines, cable stations, plate-loaded stations, barbells, dumbbells, benches, treadmills, a stair climber and exercise bikes. Ask the gym for the complete current list.
This has not been confirmed for this website. Please ask the Jaguar Fitness Den team when you enquire.
Many beginners begin with a short cardio warm-up and a few machine exercises at light weights. Ask for a walk-through, and consult a doctor first if you have any health concerns.
Two or three sessions a week is a common starting point. The right amount depends on your goals, schedule and recovery, so choose a pattern you can keep up.
