Residents are invited to sign up to the '30 minutes is all it takes' campaign at the fitness suites at Glossop and New Mills Leisure Centres this New Year.
From 2 January to 31 March 2008, new and existing users of the fitness suites can sign up to the promotion, which will help them to attain their optimum fitness, and give them the opportunity to enter a prize draw.
The campaign encourages people to undergo 30 minutes of exercise, 3 times week. Research has shown that this level of activity can have significant health benefits and can help people to transform their lives.
Once they have signed up, participants will exercise in the gym, or take part in other fitness-based activities such as studio cycling, aerobics, circuit training or swimming, twice a week for 2 months. They will also undertake a further 30-minute activity, once a week, away from the centre such as walking, biking, vigorous gardening for example.
All of the sessions will be recorded on an individual card, and the fitness suite staff will guide and advise participants.
At the end of the promotion, all of the completed record cards will be entered into a prize draw. The prizes include Ipods, gift vouchers, sports equipment and free memberships.
