You can start your journey to a healthier lifestyle at any time. At Arcadia Library & Leisure Centre we want to provide opportunities for people of all ages to be active!
We have a variety of different options available too, including pay as you go and our Better Health Senior membership.
If you're aged 60 or over and looking to get more active, our Better Health Senior membership allows you to access the gym, swimming pool, health sutie and fitness classes at Arcadia Library and Leisure Centre, all at a competitve price.
We believe that staying socially active is just as important as staying physically active - at any age. That's why we run regular senior swim sessions and aqua aerobics classes, offering you the opportunity to meet new people and grow friendships near you.
If that wasn't enough, Better is a not for profit organisation, all proceeds from your membership fees are reinvested right back into your local community, enabling us to make fitness more accessible to everyone.
