This new year, join your local Wiltshire Council leisure centre and prioritise your own physical health and fitness journey.

All 20 leisure centres throughout the county will be offering no joining fee membership deals between Tuesday 2 January to Monday 15 January, a saving of £25. With a diverse range of memberships available including junior, senior, corporate and concession, there are a number of choices available to suit all abilities, fitness levels and ages.

With membership at a Wiltshire Council leisure centre giving access to all 20 sites, if you take up the Life Zone membership, you can access a wide range of group exercise classes, from high intensity classes, including the internationally renowned Les Mills classes, through to wellness classes like pilates and yoga. Classes provide a motivational way to build regular activity into a weekly routine and provide a great platform to meet new people and be inspired by enthusiastic instructors.

Wiltshire Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, Cllr Ian Blair-Pilling, said: A key priority in our business plan is to help the people of Wiltshire increase their activity levels and improve their health, and we hope that by offering our memberships without the admin fee this January, more people will take that first step towards a more active lifestyle.

We're committed to providing the best possible experience for all users of our facilities but if you're a first-time gym user, or someone that's returning to a more active lifestyle, our fitness teams are on hand to provide you with a professional, supported and guided introduction to the gym. This includes a consultation session to assess your aims and goals and address any worries and concerns, along with an introductory session in the gym to show you the equipment and make sure you're happy using it, plus a personalised fitness programme to ensure that your time with us is well spent.

For those who are less interested in using the gym, our Swim Only membership may be the one for you. With 16 swimming pools in the county and a good value membership that includes unlimited public swimming at all pools, swimming could be the ideal way to increase your physical activity in a low impact way. We offer a variety of different sessions from early morning lane swims to less structured family fun sessions.
