Whittlebury Park

Work out, stretch out and chill out, because Whittlebury Park’s ethos is that fitness should be rewarding and fun. Its first-class facilities are designed to help you reach your goals and leave you feeling rejuvenated in the process. In fact it’s more than just a gym - the Leisure Club at Whittlebury Park is a fitness and wellness destination. 

First stop, the gym which is packed full of the very latest equipment from Artis by Technogym. Try the Kinesis Station - a machine which combines strength training and functional training. Ask one of the gym team to show you what it can do because once you get started, the only limit is your imagination. Or try a class in the Body & Mind studio - there’s everything from barre fitness to meditation.

Then it’s time to hit the pool for lane swimming or an aqua class. Impressively sized at 19m, there’s ambient lighting and an intricate mural of Ancient Rome to inspire you. A bubbly spa and salt sauna add to the chilled vibe and let you soak those tired muscles. 

Prefer being outdoors, social and active? Make time for a round of golf at Whittlebury Park’s championship course. You can play the 36 holes  in any order you like, so you’ll never do the same round twice.

When it’s time to refuel, the restaurants and bars at Whittlebury Park hotel will put you in pole position. They’re all named with a nod to British motor-racing as the hotel is just moments away from the Silverstone circuit.

It does and it’s really impressive.
