Oasis Centre

Last updated: 27 November 2023

Oasis opened in 2010 as an exclusive wellbeing Centre for NHS staff.

The demands of working in a hospital environment can leave staff with very little for anything else. Having an on-site fitness facility is convenient for employees to help look after themselves. Becoming a healthier, fitter workforce ultimately means providing a better health care service.

Membership cost is £20 per month.

Membership includes use of the gym and swimming pool.

*We do not do pool only memberships

*There is a 30 day written cancellation period. All cancellations should be emailed to Oasis@porthosp.nhs.uk

 

Membership fees for PHU staff are taken directly from salary.

Equans staff are able to pay through salary or Direct Debit.

All other NHS staff are to pay through Direct Debit

 

Family membership

Oasis is an adult only facility. *Over 16’s only.

An employee can pay for 1 family member to also have membership.

This could be for a partner/ mother/ father/ brother or sister.

The pool provides a place where you can exercise without fully weight baring. It allows support for sore joints, but it also provides resistance to work your muscles. This class is designed to improve your fitness, strength and stamina as well as burn calories to support weight loss.

Circuits (45 mins) – not suitable for those with significant injuries

Circuits is designed to elevate your heart rate and push you near your limits at times. This is the toughest class Oasis offers. Circuits will put you through a range of movements designed to increase your strength and fitness.

 

Menofit (45-50 mins) – Ladies only

Designed for menopausal women, this class is based around strength and conditioning movements. Strength training is an excellent way to burn calories and increase muscle mass to prevent conditions like osteoarthritis.
