Warning: Spennymoor Leisure Centre: Due to a technical issue with the pool air heating system and as a result of the cold temperatures outside, the pool hall has steadily become too cold for people to comfortably swim. We will therefore be closing the pool temporarily until the issue can be resolved.

Move

If you’d like to move more, get out and about, enjoy the outdoors, improve your mental health and wellbeing or make some new friends then why not try a Move activity or programme. Taking place across the County, there’s everything from a craft group and seated exercise class to swimming and an outdoor walk.

What Move is

We want to make sure that everyone, no matter what their circumstances, can move more as part of their everyday life. But with so many different options available, knowing where to start can be daunting. To help you get moving, we can offer a dedicated one to one support service which allows you to receive tailored advice on how to move more.

Contact us to enquire about one to one support.

What Move activities and programmes we offer

  • Move activities (arts and crafts): if you’d like to join a reading group or try and adult colouring session then why not try a Move activity
  • Move activities (sport): Try one of our sporting activities to help you move more, we have walking football and netball sessions across County Durham
  • Move classes: something a little gentle to get you moving – all classes are at a beginners level and you can take as many rests as you need
  • Move cycling: we have ‘learn to ride’ classes to get you up and about on a bike
  • Move running: we can help you get up and about running
  • Move walking: we offer ways to get out and about the County through guided walks

Move Hub

Our Move Hub offers you the chance to start a fitness journey in a gentle way. Whether you are recovering from injury, wish to get in shape, improve mobility, tone up or improve strength we can help start you on a new path to improving your health and wellbeing.

Each Move Hub is filled with specialist power assisted equipment. This gives a helping hand, enabling you to exercise in a low impact way but still gives you a full body workout by moving around different equipment in a circuit. The Hub is also a social space, so as you work through a gentle workout, you’ll also get to chat and make friends.

The Hub is at Abbey Leisure Centre.
