Popular programs at the Council owned facility include boxing, gymnastics, netball, indoor football, karate and basketball.

It also has air-conditioned group fitness room – The Fit Room offering a range of exercise and group fitness classes including RPM (spin), Pilates, yoga, Pump Attack, ROAR, Zumba, Cardio Jab and Kettlecore.
