24 hour gym now open at The Barcode
A brand-new, state-of-the-art gym, health and wellness centre is now open at The Barcode, Drake Circus.
The comprehensive facilities include premium weight machines, functional fitness equipment, saunas, ice baths, and much more.
The exciting new addition of saunas and ice baths elevates Plymouth’s wellness and recovery offerings, aligning with a rapidly growing trend across the UK. Cold-water immersion has gained a meteoric rise in attention in recent years, after being popularised by a raft of celebrities from Vogue Williams to David Beckham, with thousands of people across the UK starting their day with a glacial dip.
The combination of sauna bathing and cold plunging offers numerous health benefits, including increased energy levels, reducing stress and anxiety, relieving pain and inflammation, fat burning, and improved sleep quality.
By integrating these facilities, Trident Gym provides members with advanced recovery tools that promote muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being.
Open 24 hours a day, Trident Gym ensures unparalleled convenience and accessibility, fitting seamlessly into any lifestyle, with memberships starting from just £35 per month.
