Fitter Ex-Forces (Football & Fitness sessions)

Funded by Armed Forces Positive Pathway Programme.

 

What is it?

Our Fitter Ex-Forces project is aimed at improving the mental and physical health of those who have served in the Armed Forces and their immediate families (over 18). 

We currently run three sessions a week:

Tuesday- Football training including Ex-Forces Fitness, 19.00-21.00 at The Prairie Sports Village, new pitch. ON NOW

Wednesday – Ex-Forces Fitness- Mixed, 19.00-20.00 in the dance Studio at The Leisure box. STARTING 19TH MAY.

When signing up to these sessions, you will also receive a number of other fantastic benefits, which you can see below:

  • FREE 6-week gym membership at our iPRO Gym, The Leisure Box.
  • Free rock climbing
  • Health MOTs at the start, middle and end of your six weeks.
  • FREE weekly gym-based session.
  • Nutritional Advice
  • Brand new training kit when you become a regular

 

Who is it for?

Individuals who have served in the HM Armed Forces.

Upon leaving the forces, a lot of individuals miss the opportunities to stay fit and be part of a unique group. These sessions will be based on group training, allowing the chance to resume the camaraderie that many miss whilst also keeping mentally and physically fit.

 

When can I start?

Once you have registered, we will contact you to book in your free gym induction prior to you starting your membership. A brief health check is required before you can begin your membership.

 

Further information

  • Proof of service will be needed to register for the project.
  • A gym induction and basic health questionnaire must be completed to start the gym membership.
  • Free 6-week membership will start from the date of your induction.
