more people, more active, more often

Programmes that get the UK moving

Putting our member gyms at the heart of the community: that is what our programmes are all about.

For schools and businesses, these programmes get children and adults involved with a healthy lifestyle – and learning the value of their local gyms and leisure centres.

Everybody wins:

  • Our members form partnerships with local schools and businesses, adding potential long term value
  • Businesses see more motivated staff
  • Schools see pupils genuinely engaged with physical activity
  • The Government sees the programmes as helping to achieve national health and activity targets


On the right, get a flavour of the current programmes; then dig deeper into this section to see how much they can do for you.

It is all part of our core mission: to get more people| more active | more often.

Activity at school and at work
Adopt A School
Our first community program, launched in 2004, has now involved almost 750 schools nationwide. Adopt a school is aimed specifically at 10 to 11 year olds. 
go
go has been tailored to motivate activity in teenage girls, traditionally a group where ‘activity’ has been a challenging concept. Using a vibrant brand and a motivational language, go speaks their language.
Active at work
This programme is all about helping employees get physically active. Local businesses link up with our member gyms & leisure facilities, and staff get to experience gym-based activity for three months on a structured programme.
