Gym goers set to benefit from more opportunities to get active

People across the district will have even more opportunities to take part in physical activity following multi-thousand pound investment from a local leisure provider.  

Everyone Active, which operates Stratford Leisure Centre in partnership with Stratford-on-Avon District Council, has invested more than £3,500 to install a new virtual system at the centre.  

Following this investment, gym goers will be able to take part in an additional 13 virtual classes each week. Virtual group exercise classes offer a versatile option for those that are looking to try out an activity for the very first time, or aren't able to attend a full session are would like to get in a quick workout. Everyone Active will be launching its new virtual classes from Monday 11 June.  

Cllr Mike Brain, Services for the Community Portfolio at Stratford-on-Avon District Council says: "This is a fantastic new investment for Stratford Leisure Centre.  Virtual classes are bringing a new lease of life to group exercise studios; allowing members to do the classes they want, when they want and fitting workouts around their own lifestyles.  Cycling, including cycle classes, is a great way to keep active; it is low impact and good fun. I'm sure this new facility will be well used and prove very popular."  

Nick Stowey, general manager at Everyone Active, said: "As the longest established leisure and sports operator, our goal is to encourage people to be more active and we hope that the introduction of virtual classes will offer a wide range of activities for our members  

"Re-investment is one of our core principles and we hope that the new classes on offer will inspire local people to lead a healthier and more active lifestyle."
