The older you get, the more you become to realise that exercise is not solely about looking good, but a large part of the benefits come from feeling good. You also don’t need to be breaking out a sweat to feel those endorphins. Simply keeping your body moving can do wonders for your overall physical and mental health.
Do you have mobility challenges? Pains in your joints and bones? Perhaps you’re recovering from a health-related issue? Or is it just that a typical gym doesn’t offer the type of exercise you want to do? Our Feelgood Suite at Pendle Leisure Centre is here to help with exactly all of that. We provide the Innerva equipment, trained fitness experts, and a friendly smile, to help you achieve your goals. The suite is open 7 days a week and offers both mixed and female only sessions. Check out the timetables on our website.
With our Feelgood membership you can use the suite to suit you. Come every day, once a week, or whatever works best. We can’t promise that you won’t get the Feelgood bug and become one of our regulars!
If you’re still not convinced but find yourself reading on, allow us to change your mind. We went ahead and spoke to the people that matter the most, our customers! Our lovely Feel good-ers completed a survey to let us know exactly what they thought of our suite and how it has benefitted them since becoming a member. Check out the results below.
As we mentioned earlier, exercise and fitness is not all about the way you look, but can be a huge door-opener to meeting new like-minded people. Having an increased social network and improved mental health was one of the most agreed upon benefits for our customers.
Ever feel like getting out of bed is painful? And not just because you don’t want to go to work or tidy the house. If you’re struggling to perform once simple daily tasks, you would be amazed at how much a little extra flexibility can help you to twist or bend that little bit further.
Any type of movement, exercise and socialising can only ever be beneficial to the life-long health of us humans. We recently spoke to one of our inspiring Activo members during their weekly badminton sessions at West Craven Sports Centre. John has been playing badminton for 8 years, but suffered a stroke only 2 years ago. John knew that he needed to get back into his active lifestyle as soon as he was able to, and knew that the sessions hosted as West Craven Sports Centre were a vital part of his recovery. He now enjoys attending the gym, walking football, and badminton on a weekly basis and reports to be 70% back to his pre-stroke fitness, and he isn’t stopping there!
And just in case you’ve made it this far and not already signed up for your Feelgood membership, check out some great testimonials from our Feelgood-ers themselves.
