Inside the beautiful, exclusive gym in the heart of Manchester that’s open to the public for the first time ever

One of Manchester’s most exclusive and comprehensive boutique gyms has opened its doors to the public for the first time.

This hidden fitness space is within the Treehouse Hotel, which opened on a prime spot on Deansgate last year.

The beautiful gym space had only been accessible to hotel guests until now, who have been lucky to train on top-spec equipment while visiting Manchester.

But now Treehouse Hotel is welcoming in the wider public to The Playground, with a strictly limited number of memberships up for grabs – and we’ve got a lovely 50% off discount code for you too (more on that below).

With two membership options to choose from, members can enjoy 24/7 gym access, preferential rates on padel court hire and complimentary access to premium recovery equipment, alongside luxury changing facilities.

The space looks beautiful as well as being functional too, with huge skylights overhead and plenty of greenery on the walls.

At a time when Manchester is seeing changes to its boutique fitness scene, The Playground offers a chance to train in a design-led space that has everything you need to prioritise your health and fitness.

The Technogym equipment inside The Playground at Treehouse Hotel includes two squat racks, cable machines, a leg press, free weights, a full suite of cardio equipment including stairmaster, rower and treadmills, plus a full track with a sled.

There’s also a studio area in one corner, with digital workouts ranging from pilates to HIIT.

And in the recovery zone, members can make use of Therabody RecoveryAir compression boots and Theragun massage devices, placing recovery on equal footing with performance.

There are two membership options available at The Playground, catering to different fitness and wellness needs.

Sprout Membership – £65 per month

The Sprout Membership includes 24/7 gym access, preferential rates on padel court hire throughout the week and complimentary use of the recovery equipment, including pneumatic compression boots and massage guns. Members can also enjoy private changing facilities, complimentary chilled towels and fresh fruit-infused water.

Treetop Membership – £80 per month

For those looking to make wellness a bigger part of their routine, the Treehouse Membership includes everything in the Sprout package, alongside a range of additional benefits.

Members receive 15% off Good Sauna sessions and plunge baths, as well as exclusive discounts on padel bookings, with 15% off weekday and 10% off weekend bookings.

The membership also includes discounts on selected wellness food, drinks and products, as well as one complimentary freshly prepared smoothie every month.

With 24/7 access to the gym, additional wellness benefits and a premium recovery offering, The Playground provides a new way to stay active in the heart of Manchester.

You can get a whopping 50% off for your first month’s subscription with our code ‘THEMANC’.

The officer is valid for purchases made until 31 October 2026.
