Peake Fitness, just over a 10 minute drive from both Sudbury and Hadleigh, is a state-of-the-art gym equipped with the Technogym range of Visio cardiovascular and Biostrength resistance machines, which operate using microchip key technology. Gone are the days of manually adjusting workout times, inputting the calories you’d like to burn or wasting time configuring a machine to your body type – now you simply plug in your key, with your own personalised exercise regime, and off you go!

Sounds good, right? Well, wait till you hear the rest. Peake Fitness is about so much more than just high-tech workout equipment. It offers a highly skilled and approachable team of Fitness Instructors, not to mention an inspiring location, overlooking a gorgeous lake and acres of landscaped grounds.

Fitness Instructors are qualified to Reps Level 3 and are always on hand to offer advice on how to tackle any problem areas or even just for a chat. Unlike faceless chain gyms, Peake Fitness is more than just a gym. It's a community and its members seek to encourage and inspire each other through a combination of hard work, fun and socialising.

An exercise regime at Peake Fitness will never become stale as members are encouraged to make use of free ongoing fitness programme reviews, free group exercise classes and the luxurious poolside facilities – indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sanarium – at the adjacent Peake Spa.

As an additional bonus, Peake Fitness members receive discounts off food, drinks and spa treatments within the Stoke by Nayland resort – can you think of a better excuse to sit down to a delicious smoothie with shot of protein in Peake Bistro after your workout? We can’t.
