2012 is set to be a spectacular year for sport as the Olympic Games heads to London, so why not be inspired to get fit this New Year?
Cardiff Council is offering a fantastic new leisure promotion to encourage people to become regular members of leisure facilities across the city.
Throughout the month of January those who wish to get fit and active can make a one off payment of £20.12 and then pay nothing more until March.
The ‘Time to Join the Gym’ promotion also gives customers the opportunity to commit to paying the same price for their Active Leisure membership for as long as they remain members of the scheme.
By becoming a committed member, the Council is guaranteeing that the price will never increase and will remain the same every single year.
The promotion aims to reward both loyal and new customers by promising that their membership rate will remain the same every month from the day they sign up.
The initiative offers value for money to people who enjoy sport and leisure activities and can be up to 17 per cent cheaper than paying as you go for uncommitted users of the facilities.
The Active Card scheme offers great value for money for those wanting to get fit and improve their health and wellbeing, allowing access to 11 council leisure facilities throughout the city which boast amenities such as gyms, swimming pools, fitness classes, racquet sports, athletics and cycling.
The scheme is a simple way of paying for leisure and saving money.
Many Council leisure facilities have undergone refurbishment recently, transforming centres into light, contemporary environments accessible to all members of the public. With all the very latest exercise equipment available, a team of highly qualified and experienced staff at each site will ensure everyone is given the support they need while they keep fit.
Executive Member for Sport, Leisure and Culture, Cllr Nigel Howells, said: “January is the perfect time to make new years resolutions and get fit for the year ahead.
“The ‘Time to Join the Gym?’ promotion is a fantastic way to save money whilst engaging in an active lifestyle.
“And by becoming a committed member, people can get the most for their money regardless of future price increases.
“Cardiff boasts some fantastic leisure and sports facilities which are popular with communities all over the city. With a fantastic year of sport ahead, what better way to make lifestyle changes and get fit for the future.”
To take advantage of the ‘Time to Join the Gym?’ promotion, customers must sign up between Monday 2 and Tuesday 31, January 2011.
