ANYONE wanting to get fit in time for Christmas can take advantage of an offer from Wiltshire Council.

A six-week swim and gym membership is being offered at eight leisure centres across the county.

The £40 membership includes a free gym induction and training programme at any of the eight Wiltshire Council-run leisure centres taking part, unlimited use of the pool during all appropriate sessions and unlimited use of the gym during publicised opening times.

The membership can be used for any six continuous weeks from Monday, October 21, to Sunday, January 5. The last date to join and make full use of the six week membership is Monday, November 25.

The centres taking part include Amesbury Sports and Community Centre, Five Rivers Leisure Centre in Salisbury, Tisbury Leisure Centre and Tidworth Leisure Centre. People who are interested in finding out more can call into one of the centres or visit wiltshire.gov.uk/getfitforchristmas for more information.

Tidworth Leisure Centre will be closed from October 28 to 30, and the pool will be out of use from October 28 to November 4 due to improvement work being carried out.

Customers at this centre will receive seven additional days if their membership is inclusive of these dates. This offer is not available at Durrington Leisure Centre due to refurbishment work.
