This Girl Can: Beginner Female Gym & Running

Friday, 1st March 2019


This year Pendle Leisure Trust is getting behind Sport England’s This Girl Can campaign to provide a range of female-only activities to encourage women to get active.

This Girl Can is part of a national campaign which encourages women of all shapes, sizes and abilities to do more exercise. And Pendle Leisure Trust is getting involved by offering lots of female-only fitness sessions throughout 2019 at its leisure centres – Pendle Leisure Centre in Colne, West Craven Sports Centre in Barnoldswick and Seedhill AFC and Pendle Wavelengths in Nelson.

The Trust has been championing the campaign since December 2018 when it offered free Aquarhythmics and swimming sessions.

This March the Trust is offering FREE beginner, female-only gym and running sessions at Seedhill AFC– ideal if you want to improve your fitness with a mix of gym sessions and running.

The beginner gym/running sessions will run every Tuesday in March from 6pm – 7pm at Seedhill AFC in Nelson.

This Girl Can is funded by the National Lottery and offers the message #FitGotReal, which celebrates the creative and unconventional ways that women fit exercise into their busy lives.

Fit Got Real builds on the campaign’s achievements so far and aims to reach out to women of all backgrounds and ethnicities who feel left behind by traditional exercise and prove that judgement, time, money and energy are barriers that can be overcome.
