Absolutely Together, a charity dedicated to supporting families with children and young adults with additional needs, will be opening a brand-new gym facility at The XC on Jarman Leisure Park, Hemel Hempstead. The new venue, which will operate under the charity’s Absolutely Fitness brand, is scheduled to open its doors on Wednesday, December 3, 2025.
The new facility will replace the charity’s Our Gym site, which will close on Monday, December 1 after the landlord chose to repurpose the building. Situated just two miles from the former site, the relocation ensures the local fitness community retains access to high-quality gym facilities while supporting a charitable cause.
All current Our Gym members will have their memberships transferred to the new Absolutely Fitness facility, where they’ll be welcomed by familiar faces from the Our Gym team.
The new Absolutely Fitness gym will feature a wide range of equipment, including treadmills, cross trainers, squat racks, dumbbell and barbell stations, SkiErgs, battle ropes, assault bikes, and a hybrid functional training area hosting multiple classes throughout the day. Members will also enjoy the added benefit of free parking and access to the climbing facilities at The XC. The venue joins Absolutely Fitness’s other gym locations in Bracknell, Langley and Slough.
Matt Schofield from Absolutely Together commented: “Although this was an unexpected change, we’re turning it into an opportunity for our fitness community. Opening one of our Absolutely Fitness gyms at The XC offers significant advantages, including free parking and the exciting addition of climbing facilities.
“With reduced overheads at this site, we’ll have greater capacity to invest in new equipment and gym facilities in the future, ensuring the new gym continually meets the needs of our members. Crucially, this move will also allow us to distribute additional funds to support families who have children with additional needs in our community, enhancing our core charitable mission.”
All profits generated by Absolutely Together’s network of not-for-profit leisure venues are reinvested to provide free leisure activities for families with children and young adults with additional needs across the region.
