Extend Your Activities – Have Fun & Get P*H*I*T for £1!

29 April 2008

Bromley’s young people are being encouraged to get active and have fun from just £1 a week! New dance and fitness programmes for 11 – 16 year olds start in May at leisure centres across the Borough. 

Sessions include ‘Saturday Dance Mat Fever’ at the Spa (Beckenham). Dancers move their feet to match the footpads against the moving arrows on the projector, in time to the music. Dancers can compete against their friends or just have fun taking part and improving their own scores.

Friday nights are now Friday P*H*I*T Nights at the Pavilion Leisure Centre in Bromley and West Wickham Leisure Centre. P*H*I*T (Physical Healthy Impact Training) includes BoxP*H*I*T, StreetP*H*I*T, StreetDance and P*H*I*TCycling – all with friendly instructors.

P*H*I*TGym offers a number of different ways to keep healthy using state of the art gym equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, bikes, cross-trainers and resistance equipment.

The Sports Centre at Cator Park in Beckenham will be offering ‘Wednesday Streetdance’ with a professional instructor.

So, as well as offering fun and innovative activities, the programmes also provide a safe and friendly environment for young people on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons.

Debbie Glazzard, Connect Manager for Bromley Mytime said, “Young people have been telling us they want more to do on Friday evenings and the weekends when they have more spare time to themselves. Increasingly they are also concerned to keep healthy and these activities are the ideal way to get in shape and have fun.”

All of the Extended Activities are offered as 10 week programmes and cost just £1 per week, thanks to £20,000 funding from Pro-Active South and Sport England who want to see all young people engaged in at least 5 hours physical activity a week. Programmes will run from May – July, with additional programmes planned for September.
