Fitness fans jump for joy as indoor group exercise returns to the Braintree District

Indoor group exercise will return to leisure centres in the district from Monday 17th May.

Fusion Lifestyle and Braintree District Council are pleased to announce that in line with the government roadmap, indoor group exercise will return to Braintree Swimming & Fitness, Braintree Sport & Health Club, Halstead Leisure Centre and Witham Leisure Centre. 

The restarting of indoor group exercise means that residents in the Braintree District can enjoy Zumba, yoga, Pilates, body pump, indoor cycle and all their other favourite fitness fixes.  

The centres will continue to operate in line with government safety guidelines and those planning to visit will still be required to book and pay online, to ensure contact is minimised at each centre and allowing for the track and trace process to be implemented. Gym users and group exercise participants will be asked to arrive ready to work out, and swimmers with their costumes under their clothes, ready to go.  These measures, combined with meticulous cleaning routines, are designed to keep customers safe and offer complete confidence to use the facilities when they return to the centre. 

Anthony Cawley, Director of Operations at Fusion said, “It’s a really positive step to be able to restart indoor group exercise classes.  We know how popular group exercise is and our instructors can’t wait to get back to offering the full timetable of classes.  We are really pleased that we will be able to continue to offer some outdoor classes too, making sure we’re giving our members as much choice as possible.”

Councillor Peter Tattersley, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing at Braintree District Council said, “Bringing indoor group exercise back safely is a really positive step for the leisure industry and for the wellbeing of our local community.  We are delighted that we can play our part in supporting health and fitness in our area.”

All centres will be open daily, but please refer to the individual centre’s websites for opening hours.  

Bookings can be made up to seven days in advance, via download of the Fusion Lifestyle app or visit www.fusion-lifestyle.com to register and use the online booking facility.
