Circuits
7pm Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday (9am on Bank Holidays)
Circuits is held at our pavilion in Totley and is free to all Totley AC members.
Monday and Tuesday run every week. Wednesday runs 2 weeks on, and one week off – check the calendar for when it’s on.
Forget that noisy, smelly, claustrophobic room. The outdoors is the best place to get your fix! Maximize your workout – Combine cardiovascular exercise with resistance training. (Bring breakfast on Bank Holidays)
Baby-Friendly Circuits

The circuits is more of an informal opportunity for mums / dads/ etc to exercise together and bring their babies along. We put on a timer and some music, put out some mats and follow our own exercises for an hour. With a cup of tea and chat after
It’s very much a social opportunity with a bit of exercise thrown in!
It’s either inside or outside depending on the weather. There’s no age limit to the babies. Ones that aren’t crawling sometimes make things easier as they stay in one place, but we often have people with small babies having to do a lot of squats with the babies in a sling!
