Her Spirit

Partnership for women launched

Gedling Leisure are pleased to announce that we have joined forces with Her Spirit in a new partnership to encourage more women to get active.

Her Spirit is a community-driven sport and fitness app, designed to help women access safe, inclusive sports and physical activity.

Women often face more insecurities and anxiety than men when it comes to exercising and we want to empower women with additional support and knowledge to help them gain confidence to be more active and learn more about strength training.

Strength training has many health benefits, including helping to build bone density, increase muscle mass and improve balance, helping to reduce the risk of injury and falls. This type of exercise is ideal to do alongside regular cardio exercises like going for a brisk walk, swimming or dancing.

As part of the Her Spirit partnership we are:

• launching weekly 'Couch2Kilos' strength training classes for women (see details below).
• inviting women to sign up for a FREE 12-month premium membership of the Her Spirit app (worth £79.99). The premium membership encourages women to connect with a community of like-minded people, take part in challenges and online workouts, with expert advice on fitness and much more. Download the Her Spirit app for Android or Apple devices and sign up with a Gedling Borough postcode and the premium membership will be added to your profile within 72 hours. 
• offering FREE 2-week Gedling Leisure passes so that women can not only try the Counch to Kilos classes for free but try out the gyms, pools and other classes at the centre for free. To claim your free 2-week pass, download the Her Spirit app and show your profile page to a member of our reception team.
• waiving the membership joining fee offer if you take out a DNA membership after using your free 2-week pass.

'Couch2Kilos' classes

These classes will take place at Calverton, Carlton Forum and Redhill Leisure Centres. They will be dedicated to coaching women and girls aged 16+ in strength training. The instructor-led classes will teach the basics of lifting weights and help to build women’s confidence to exercise and will be a great opportunity to meet new people.

Women of all fitness abilities, who are looking for a new way to get active with the support of others, in a safe environment, are invited to join these classes, starting from 31 March.

The classes are included in memberships or are available on a pay as you go basis for £8.40/ £6.70 with a Gedling Leisure Card.

To book your space for any of these classes up to 7 days in advance, book online, through the Gedling Leisure app or call the relevant leisure centre.
