November 19th is International Men’s Day, so we’re celebrating all things health and fitness!

At Pendle Leisure Trust we work with Activo members from all backgrounds with varying levels of fitness and different goals.

When we see the gym as a place to improve our mental well-being, as well as physical fitness, then we can use our time there in a more balanced way.
