A New Gym
We're giving our gym a full refresh and we can't wait for you to see it. From Wednesday 8th to Wednesday 22nd April, the gym is undergoing an exciting refurbishment as we invest in creating an even better space for you to train. We know this may cause some disruption to your routine and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we carry out these improvements.
To minimise the disruption to your routine during the gym closure, we are offering members a couple of alternatives. Extra strength classes have been added to the timetable and a temporary gym is available in the Studio at set times, staffed by one of our personal trainers to help you adapt your usual workout to the available equipment. In the Studio gym, there is a selection of Kettlebell weights ranging from 4kg-32kg; a selection of Dumbbells, ranging from 1kg-10kg; Studio Barbells, with 1.25kg, 2.5kg & 5kg weight plates; a Spin Bike; a SkiErg; Resistance bands; Reebox Steps; a Plyo Box; a Bosu Ball and Skipping Ropes.
Both the Strength Training classes and Studio gym are bookable in advance on the Technogym app in the usual way, subject to availability. There are 6 spaces in our Studio gym per session and 8 spaces in the Strength Training classes. Please click here for more information on the timings of these sessions.
The gym will reopen on Thursday 23rd April, ready to welcome you back into a refreshed environment designed to support your workouts and wellbeing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to speak to one of the Herb House team who will be happy to help.

Phase 4 - 23rd April - Gym Reopens
Herb House Gym reopens to our members and guests - we can't wait to show you the new space.
Refresher training sessions will be available to book via the Technogym app or with Herb House Reception. These will run from Friday 24th April to Sunday 3rd May and will last approximately 20 minutes. The sessions are designed to help you familiarise yourself with and learn how to safely use the new gym equipment.
After Sunday 3rd May, refresher sessions can be booked directly with a trainer, subject to availability. We would recommend all members complete a refresher session before using the gym, and these must be taken before the end of July.
Back-to-Back Classes
Our back-to-back classes are scheduled to accommodate as many members as possible, allowing everyone the opportunity to enjoy our most popular classes.
As a courtesy to other members, we kindly request that members do not book onto two of the same class on the same day in advance. If, on the day, there is a last-minute space in the second class, you are welcome to add yourself via our reception team.
Our Duty Managers do their best to monitor duplicate bookings and will contact members who are booked onto more than one class.
Members' Drop In Coffee Chats
Our 2026 Members’ drop-in coffee chats will take place quarterly, each combined with a talk from one of our Curated brands. These sessions are a great opportunity to meet the team in person, connect with fellow members, and enjoy a complimentary coffee or tea.
Our next session will take place on Wednesday 13th May, from 10:30am to 1pm in The Drawing Room, with Sam & Tammy. The morning will begin with a talk from Ancient + Brave from 10:30am to 11:30am. Jenni Kiddle, one of the expert nutritionists at Ancient + Brave, will be introducing the brand and sharing insights about their new Brave Ancestral Protein, as well as discussing how their products can support women through menopause. This will be followed by members' coffee chats from 11:45am until 1pm - an opportunity for members to meet other members, chat over coffee and biscuits and get to know our team better.
To attend, please book your place via the Technogym app for either or both parts of the session.
Watch this space for future drop-in dates.
Little Nippers Swimming
A gentle reminder that our Little Nippers swim sessions are available exclusively for members and their children or grandchildren. Please book your sessions via the Technogym app and register your Little Nippers in advance of their first swim by emailing membership@herbhousespa.co.uk.
We’re unable to accommodate any additional children who haven’t been registered. If additional adults would like to join the session, they are welcome to do so by booking a guest pass for the day to access the facilities. Alternatively, they’re very welcome to relax with a coffee and watch from Raw & Cured without a guest pass. Please click here to view our Little Nippers Policy.
Using the Sauna & Steam Room Safely
For health & safety reasons, we kindly ask that you refrain from using personal oils, ointments, or other products in the sauna or steam room. These can affect the safe operation of the equipment and may affect guests who suffer with allergies and intolerances. We also ask that no equipment within these areas is adjusted or tampered with.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Membership Team or speak to the Spa Duty Manager, who will be happy to help.
