The Gym Group Sunderland South
A 24-hour Gym Group branch at Toll Bar Retail Park in Ryhope, with seven Olympic lifting platforms, dumbbells to 50kg, a HIIT zone and classes included.
About The Gym Group Sunderland South
The Gym Group Sunderland South is on Toll Bar Retail Park, off Toll Bar Road at Ryhope on the southern edge of the city. It is open 24 hours a day and has parking on site, so it suits shift workers and people living in Ryhope, Grangetown, Doxford Park and Tunstall who would rather not drive into the centre.
For a budget chain gym it is well set up for strength work, with seven Olympic lifting platforms and dumbbells running up to 50kg, alongside the usual cardio and resistance machines. There is also a HIIT zone, and group classes are included in membership. Memberships are arranged online through The Gym Group website, and the class timetable is published there too, so you can see what is on before you join.
