Free open weekend at Better leisure centres in Gateshead – November 22 and 23
This November, charitable social enterprise GLL will be offering more opportunities for wellbeing in its ‘Better’ leisure centres and libraries across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Over 200 ‘Better’ venues will be opening their doors to the public, offering a range of free activities and taster sessions to encourage people to stay fit and well during the colder months. Participating centres in Gateshead include Blaydon, Dunston and Heworth leisure centres as well as Gateshead International Stadium.
In keeping with this month’s ‘Social Enterprise Day’, the Open Weekend will run with the theme of ‘Thriving on Purpose’. The aim is to celebrate the positive impact of inclusive, purpose-driven activities for people of all ages and abilities.
‘Better’ leisure centres will showcase a variety of ways to stay active, resilient and engaged with life – while also offering opportunities to try something new. Activities include strength and conditioning masterclasses, dance fitness, group cycling and aqua aerobics.
Scott Holmes, Partnership Manager comments, “The Open Weekend is a fantastic opportunity to visit your local ‘Better’ facilities and find out what we offer. There are so many ways to keep fit and active and try out new activities – you might make new friends and discover a talent you didn’t know you had!”
Free day passes must be booked in advance. For details about how to claim your free pass, access the schedule of activities at various leisure centres and to secure your place on a specific swim session or fitness class, please visit Open Days | Better
