“Mental Health Awareness Week is a fantastic time to promote the mental health benefits of exercise and physical activity which is why we have decided to host at open week," said Founder of Xercise4Less, Jon Wright. “Exercise can be hugely beneficial to anyone suffering from mental health problems, such as depression or anxiety, and it’s also great for reducing stress levels.

“Xercise4Less also want to raise money for a charity that is helping address mental health problems, which is why we will be accepting donations for the Mental Health Foundation throughout the week," Jon added.

Xercise4Less Burnley is open seven days a week and has more than 400 pieces of gym equipment, including various weights and cardio machines. Classes are also available to join throughout the week and the gym also offers a separate ladies’ only gym area.
