Leisure staff will be on hand throughout the open days to answer any questions about the leisure centre and what our memberships include.

Take a look below at all the exciting activities happening at Calverton Leisure Centre's upcoming open day.

Pre-booking is advised for most activities. Book now for our FREE activities by phone on 0115 901 3800 or in person at the centre. Gedling Leisure card holders and members can also book 7 days in advance online. 

Calverton Leisure Centre

Saturday 30 September

9am-5pm

There's no joining fee to pay for swimming lessons or DNA memberships when you sign up at the centre on the day!

Drop in for a tour of the centre to see all of the fantastic facilities on offer including the gym, fitness studio, sports hall and swimming pool. Our staff will be on hand to speak with you about what is included in a Gedling Leisure membership and about how they can help you to reach your health and fitness goals.

You can also have a Boditrax assessment with one of our fitness advisors. The Boditrax machine builds a picture of your body including muscle mass, fat percentage, metabolic rate and age, hydration levels and much more which can help to tailor a fitness plan just for you and your goals. These are drop-in sessions. You will need to take your shoes and socks off for this assessment.

Bring your workout kit with you and enjoy a free gym session on the day with all the latest equipment - no need to pre-book.
