Indoor group exercise to return to leisure centres
Residents in Charnwood will be able to get back to indoor group exercise from Monday 17th May.
Charnwood Borough Council and its leisure partner Fusion Lifestyle are pleased to announce that in line with the government roadmap, indoor group exercise will return to all three of the Council’s leisure centres from 17th May. To mark the occasion and welcome early morning fitness fans back indoors, a special Body Pump class will be held at 5.45am at Loughborough Leisure Centre, which can be booked via the Fusion app from 13th May.
The restarting of indoor group exercise at South Charnwood, Soar Valley and Loughborough leisure centres means that residents in Charnwood can enjoy zumba, yoga, pilates, body pump, indoor cycle and all their other favourite fitness fixes. Outdoor group exercise classes at Soar Valley will continue too for those who have been enjoying exercising in the fresh air.
The centres will continue to operate in line with government safety guidelines and those planning to visit will still be required to book and pay online, to ensure contact is minimised at each centre and allowing for the track and trace process to be implemented. Gym users and group exercise participants will be asked to arrive ready to work out, ready to go. These measures, combined with meticulous cleaning routines, are designed to keep customers safe and offer complete confidence to use the facilities when they return to the centre.
Anthony Cawley, Director of Operations at Fusion said, “It’s a really positive step to be able to restart indoor group exercise classes. We know how popular group exercise is and we’re excited to offer this one-off early class to celebrate the full return of our classes. Our instructors can’t wait to get back to offering the full timetable of classes. We are really pleased that we will be able to continue to offer some outdoor classes too, making sure we’re giving our members as much choice as possible.”
Cllr Leigh Harper-Davies, the Council’s lead member for communities and equalities said: “We’re really pleased our leisure centres will safely restart indoor group exercise classes from Monday 17th May. This is a positive step for the leisure industry and our residents who have missed going to their favourite exercise classes. The health and wellbeing of residents is a top priority and measures will be in place to ensure people stay safe as we continue along the Government’s roadmap. I’m looking forward to attending a few classes once again myself and would encourage people to book onto classes as soon as possible.”
All centres will be open daily, but please refer to the individual centre’s websites for opening hours. Bookings can be made up to seven days in advance, via download of the Fusion Lifestyle app or visit www.fusion-lifestyle.com to register and use the online booking facility.
