Simply Gym

Simply Gym in Hinckley is a straightforward leisure facility if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks and need to squeeze in a workout. It's not going to be a holiday highlight, but it does the job - weights, cardio machines, the usual suspects you'd expect from a local gym. There's no pretence here, which is rather refreshing in a world of Instagram-friendly fitness chains.

You'll get the most out of it if you're someone who genuinely can't face a week without your regular training routine. Fair play to that. If you're hoping for swimming pools, studios, or anything fancy, you'll be disappointed - it's a proper no-frills operation. Families with younger kids definitely won't find much to keep them occupied.

For those based at 5 Ways Lakes or Mallory Meadows just four or five miles away, it's convenient enough for an hour's session if the weather turns grim and the outdoor holiday activities lose their appeal. Better to get out and explore Hinckley town centre instead though - it's got proper shops and decent cafes within easy reach.

I'd only recommend making the trip if you're genuinely committed to maintaining fitness during your break. Otherwise, fresh air and a walk around the local parks will do you far more good than a morning on the treadmill.
