Kickstart summer with free open weekend at Better Leisure Centres in Preston

On 19th and 20th July, members and non-members alike are invited to attend centres across the region for an ‘exercise extravaganza’ that has been designed to encourage people to move more and explore different activities.

The host of free sessions include:

• Introductory gym trials for adults and juniors where leisure centre staff will be on hand to demonstrate the range of state-of-the-art equipment and advise on the best ways to achieve fitness goals
• Group cycling and HITT
• Swim for all and family fun swim sessions with fun floats and inflatables.

All activities must be booked in advance.

Better’s annual Open Weekend encourages residents to try various activities available at their local leisure and sports centres. The activities are all completely free of charge and many are suitable for the whole family. Participating centres in Preston include Fulwood and West View Leisure Centre.
