Friday night is skating night - Winter is here and it is harder for families to keep fit and have fun together, why not come to our Friday evening Roller Skating sessions 7 - 8pm £2 per person, some skates and safety gear available to hire but you need to book them in advance to be sure of getting some; it is a popular session.

Suffolk Spartans
East Bergholt is the venue used by the Suffolk Spartans - a powerlifting club where most of the participants have a disability. There are a number of National level powerlifters and local girl Zoe Newson is training hard for the 2012 Paralympics. The club meet on Friday evenings, at the moment there is a waiting list but moves are afoot to increase capacity. If you would like to come along and see what it involves, it is 5.30 - 7pm. Ask for Louise Pennell or take a look at their website www.suffolkspartans.co.uk
Volunteers required - Gym Buddies
We are looking for special people who can help us with our inclusive fitness project. If you have time on your hands and would be interested in helping less able people to enjoy the benefits of exercise, please contact us. On Monday and Friday mornings our referral staff are kept busy with an increasing number of people who have been referred by the Hospital, local GP's or are self referred. We are looking for volunteers who would like to contribute their time to this worthwhile project under the supervision of qualified staff. East Bergholt Sports Centre is on a School site, therefore regular volunteers would be subject to background and CRB checks. Very little training is required for these simple tasks. This is an ideal opportunity to help other people to manage or improve their health in a session that has become quite social.
Please phone 01206 299340 or speak to our Duty Staff if you are interested.
New Fitness Class at East Bergholt - A new family fitness initiative has arrived at East Bergolt on Mondays 7.15 - 8.00pm it's called Zumba and is very popular.
