Private show-arounds
See it once.
Make it yours on the day.
Thirty unhurried minutes inside Sanctuary with the people who built it. Three guests at most, so every question gets a proper answer. If it feels right, you leave a member, with one of the hundred places held in your name.

How it works
Half an hour.
Everything you need to decide.
Choose your time
Weekday daytimes between 10am and 2pm, in groups of three. Monday to Thursday evenings at 8pm and 8.30pm, in groups of two, for those who come straight from work.
Walk it with us
The gym, the studio, the sauna and cold plunge, the recovery room. Ask about the classes, the coaching, the hours that suit you. Nothing is rushed and nothing is scripted.
Join before you leave
If it feels right, we set you up there and then. Your place comes off the hundred the moment you sign, so it can’t go to someone else while you think it over at home.
What you’ll see
A club built for a whole life, well lived.
Pictures only go so far. Stand in the thermal suite, feel how quiet the gym is mid-morning, and you’ll understand why people choose Sanctuary over somewhere bigger.
The gym
Unlimited training, never crowded. Membership is capped, so the equipment you want is the equipment you get.
The studio
Small, coached classes from early mornings to evenings and weekends, booked in advance so there’s always room for you.
Sauna and cold plunge
The thermal suite is part of every membership: three sessions a week, booked ahead, never queued for.
Recovery
Compression boots, included with Reconnect and available to add to any membership.
Coaching
Personal training, plus menopause, male longevity and women’s wellness coaching at member rates.
The people
You’ll be shown around by the people who run Sanctuary, not a sales desk. Lived expertise, and time to talk.
Before you come
Two memberships.
One question: when do you train?
Both include unlimited gym, classes and the thermal suite. Tell us which you’re leaning towards when you book, and we’ll show you the hours and spaces that matter to you. Fifty of each are set aside for visitors.
Restore
Off-peak membership
Weekdays, 9am–5pm
For people whose days are their own. Two classes and three sauna and plunge sessions a week, with the club at its calmest.

Why only a hundred
A club, not a gym.
Sanctuary has a ceiling on membership, so the sauna is never a queue and the studio never feels like a crowd. A hundred memberships are set aside for people who come and see it first: fifty peak, fifty off-peak. They go in the order people join. When the last one goes, new members join by invitation only.
Questions
Do I have to join?
No. The show-around is free and there’s no pressure on the day. You’ll leave knowing whether Sanctuary is right for you, and if it is, you can join before you go.
Can I join on the day?
Yes, and it’s the surest way to secure one of the hundred. We’ll take you through both memberships and set you up before you leave. Places aren’t held for anyone who hasn’t joined.
Can I bring my partner?
Please do. Book a place for each of you so the group stays small. Join together from the same household and the second membership is 15% less.
What should I wear?
Whatever you’re comfortable in. It’s a walk-through, not a workout, so there’s no need to bring kit.
Where do I go?
Sanctuary Penarth, Ludlow Lane, Penarth. The full address is in your confirmation email.
What if I can’t make it?
Reply to your confirmation email and we’ll move you to another time. If you can’t come at all, let us know, so someone else can have the place.
What happens when the hundred have gone?
Show-arounds close and Sanctuary moves to invitation only. Join the newsletter and you’ll hear first if a place opens. Anything else, email hello@sanctuaryclub.co.uk.
