Physical and mental health are closely linked. Looking after your body can help your mind, just as looking after your mind can help your body. Being active is important for our health but so many of us struggle to get enough exercise. We know there are many different reasons for this and, here at thrive, we want to help people to find moments for movement in their daily routines, whether that’s a gym session, energising class or a leisurely swim in one of our pools.
Visit your local leisure centre today or enquire to book your free three day pass and start thriving in both your body and your mind!
Thrive in the gym
With facilities across County Durham and supportive, friendly staff on hand to help, we are here to help you make positive changes to your fitness and lifestyle in our gyms. Whether you’re new to fitness or exercise regularly, we offer a variety of Technogym equipment including cardio, strength and free weights in our gyms (many of which have been recently refurbished!)
Thrive in the pool
Swimming is an amazing way to stay active and a choice of pools are included in our memberships, with lane swimming and aqua classes. Whether you’re looking to improve your speed and endurance, go swimming with your toddler, or simply just have a leisurely swim, our swimming pools have got an activity for you.
Thrive in our classes
Boost your mood with an energising Zumba class or relax your mind with a rejuvenating Yoga class! We offer a range of group exercise classes at our leisure centres across the county to help you improve your mental and physical health. You can also experience our friendly and fun virtual classes, in which you’ll take part in a live class taking place in one of our local leisure centres – at home, using the Mywellness app.
Move memberships
Are you new to exercise, recovering from injury or getting back into exercise after a period of time? We offer a dedicated one-to-one support service which allows you to receive tailored advice on how to move more.
We also offer a range of move activities from walking groups to low impact classes, plus our brand new Move Hub at Abbey Leisure Centre with power-assisted equipment suitable for all.
