QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What is it like at Holmes Place?
Whether you are a first-time exerciser, a gym fanatic, a competitive athlete, or just want to be pampered occasionally, Holmes Place is committed to providing you and your guests with the very best facilities and services. Our luxurious yet comfortable environment provides a setting in which regular exercise and relaxation becomes a real pleasure.
Do Holmes Place Health Clubs provide private lockers?
All clubs have lockers where you can leave your belongings while you are using the facilities. You will need a padlock to secure the locker. If you don't already have a padlock you can buy one at reception. If you occasionally forget your padlock you can hire one for the day by leaving a deposit. We would ask that you remove your kit from the lockers when you are not in the club. Most clubs have private lockers that are available for hire, so that you can leave your belongings permanently. Ask at reception for more details.
How do I get the most out of the sauna and steam rooms?
Aquabelles UK will have access to the sauna and steam room facilities before or after their sessions. Your Aquabelles UK membership fee includes unlimited use of these great relaxation areas. The heat of the sauna or steam rooms will help you unwind after a strenuous workout by relaxing muscles and reducing soreness. They are also a great way to boost circulation. You are required to shower before entering and swimming attire must be worn at all times in the mixed poolside saunas and steam rooms. Try spending 5 minutes in the sauna/steam room, followed by a cold shower. Repeat this three times and you'll feel totally refreshed. Please observe the usage guidelines before entering, they are clearly displayed outside the saunas and steam rooms. After sauna or steam sessions make sure you sit down and relax with a nice long drink.
Do Holmes Place Health Clubs offer beauty treatments?

PRESS ROOM:
LADIES ONLY PLEASE Holmes Place reveals why women prefer working out with members of the same sex.
May 10, 2004
In an ongoing attempt to understand the psychology of its members, Holmes Place Health Clubs asked over 1,000 of its female members the main reasons why they prefer working out in the ladies only section of the gym.
The top five reasons given by female Holmes Place members for preferring the ladies only area were as follows:
1 Body Shy Flirts
67% of female members said that it was due to the fact that they fancied a member of the opposite sex working out in the main area of the gym but were too embarrassed to get hot and sweaty in front of them.*
2 Bikini Babes
51% of those asked said that it was great to get started in the ladies only gym where they feel less pressure to look good. This was especially true to times when they were hoping to lose a lot of weight in preparation for wearing a bikini.
3 Under Pressure
43% of women said that they sometimes felt under pressure from other members who tend to look more professional and that the ladies only section provided a more relaxed environment for them to try out different equipment.
4 Post Pregnancy Weight Shifters
31% of women said they found the ladies only section useful after they had just given birth and needed to shift the post pregnancy pounds without being under the glaring eye of men.
5 Growing Older Gracefully
6% of those asked said that they felt ˜too old” to run alongside younger, fitter men and that they felt far more comfortable working out in a female environment.
Holmes Place Academy trainer Vicky Mahony said, In order to obtain the best results from your health club it is important that you feel comfortable and relaxed in your work out environment. Holmes Place recognises that not every member is a fitness expert or 100% satisfied with their body so the ladies only gym is a great facility to boost members confidence as well as helping to achieve optimal results.
