Get help to get online
If you cannot access a computer to register online, you can use a computer at your local library. Someone there can help you to register. You can collect your membership card from the leisure centre.
If you want to use the gym, call or visit your local leisure centre to book an induction appointment.
Get referred for exercise by a medical expert
If you’re a resident, your GP or other medical experts can refer you for other free exercise programmes.
