FitLife scheme widened over more regions

A NEW leisure partnership with four other areas will give FitLife members free access to leisure facilities outwith Moray for the first time.

The scheme, involving four other areas will be known as the Leisure Link Partnership.

Chairwoman of Moray Council’s Children and Young People’s Services Committee, Cllr Sonya Warren, believes it is an exciting addition to memberships.

She said: "The Leisure Link Partnership makes it unbeatable value for money. Moray residents will now be able to benefit from the use of dozens of leisure facilities outwith Moray at no extra cost."

Believed to be the first of its type in Scotland, FitLife members will now be able to access gym, public swimming and fitness classes at leisure facilities across Highland, Argyll and Bute, Orkney and the Western Isles.

Many of the sites will also offer access to other public sessions where cardholders can take part in many other activities such as running and indoor climbing.

Chairman of Community Leisure UK and High Life Highland chief executive, Ian Murray is delighted to see the Leisure Link Partnership come to fruition.

He said: "We are in ongoing discussions with other areas in Scotland as well as in both Northern Ireland and Wales which have also adopted the highlife model across their own culture and leisureservices.

"So we are hopeful that the Leisure Link Partnership may soon be available not only in the Highlands and Islands but also further afield!"

Visiting cardholders are advised to check out the ‘Leisure Link Partnership’ section in their local centre’s website to establish full access details.
