Leisure for Life is going outdoors!
Throughout Summer 2022, we are putting on fun classes for all ages and abilities on outdoor gyms in some of RCT’s most stunning locations.
You won’t find a fitness and exercise opportunity like it anywhere else in the area!
Bringing fitness into the fresh air, the outdoor gyms in Ynysangharad War Memorial Park and Dare Valley Country Park are perfect for those who don’t feel ready to go back inside the gym, or those looking for a new way to get active.
Classes will be led by qualified Leisure for Life instructors, or approved third-party instructors, and will be available either as part of the Leisure for Life membership or on a pay as you go basis. You can book an outdoor class on the Leisure for Life APP if you don't alread have it, it is free to download. Non members who wish to attend on a pay as you go basis can also use the APP to create a log in and pay - simply download and register to receive your pin.

The appeal of the outdoor gyms is that they have a range of equipment that can be used effectively regardless of what level of fitness you are at, or your confidence when exercising.
Combined with the support and knowledge of the Leisure for Life experts, it means everyone – even children and those who have never been to the gym before - can use the outdoor gym in the same class and get the exercise that is right for them.
Here's the timetable. All classes can be booked via the Leisure for Life APP. Leisure for Life members can attend free. if you wish to pay as you go, it's £3.60 for adults and children go free (but must be accompanied by an adult).

Keith Nicholls, Head of Leisure, Sports and Parks, said: “Leisure for Life continues to extend its offer to customers and introduce innovative ways to get into leisure – especially for those who are not ready to return to indoor centres.
“We are lucky to have stunning outdoor locations in RCT and are taking full advantage of that by installing outdoor gyms that allow people to exercise while enjoying the fresh air and amazing views.
“We’re also lucky to have fully-qualified staff who will adapt the class and equipment so everyone can get involved. You don’t have to be at a certain fitness level to join in, instructors will work with you to do what is best for you.
“If you are looking for a more advanced class, you can also achieve this in the same session. This is a perfect opportunity for all.
“The classes are free with a Leisure for Life Membership, which works out, on average, at under £9 a week. We look forward to seeing members switching up their fitness routine and getting outside. But we also want to welcome non-members, who can pay as they go for their classes. We know Coronavirus and safety remains a concern to many and hope classes in the fresh air will reassure them.”
If you are not a Leisure for Life member, you are welcome to attend the classes on a pay as you go basis, at £3.60 a class. If you have a Leisure for Life PIN, you can book on the app. Alternatively, you can download the free Leisure for Life app and register on there for a PIN that allows you to book.
