Get fit for 2010 in Eastfield and Spencer… without joining a gym
Published Monday 11th January 10
The timetable for the ‘Trilogy in Your Community’ exercise classes, which are held in local facilities around the wards of Eastfield and Spencer, has now been revamped after feedback from local people
Low Impact Aerobics and Boxercise classes now feature on the weekly calendar ready for anyone who has made a 'get fit' resolution for 2010.
The classes are perfect for people who may not be able to find the time or money to travel to one of the three Trilogy Health and Fitness Centres. They are able to exercise near to their homes at a discounted price of just £3.50.
Popularity of the classes has steadily increased since they started in September 2009 and more members of the public have joined forces with 'Team Eastfield' and 'Team Spencer' each week. The scheme is being run in association with the Eastfield and Spencer Physical Activity Project, a three-year Sport England funded project, which is now into its second year.
Cllr Paul Varnsverry, Cabinet Member for Community Engagement, commented: "The new selection of Trilogy exercise classes that are being offered in Eastfield and Spencer are already popular in the council's leisure centres, but this initiative has been set up to help those who can't always travel. Consultation with people in the two wards has continued, making sure leisure services deliver the sessions that people want at the right times for them. This scheme has been running for just four months and in that brief period has gone from strength to strength."
Classes are open to people over the age of sixteen and anyone wanting to attend can simply come along. Spaces are limited so to avoid disappointment you can book a place by contacting Northampton Borough Council's Sport and Physical Activity Coordinator, Mark Lyons, on 01604 837 802 or mlyons@northampton.gov.uk.
