Residents can now take part in a host of new virtual and in-person Les Mills fitness classes at leisure facilities throughout the borough.
Partnering with international fitness brands, Wirral’s program will include 38 virtual classes and 30 live instructor-led sessions each week at the borough’s fitness center.
Both members and non-members can take classes on Body Pump, Body Combat and more, taught by Les Mills virtual instructors from around the world. To host the new classes, leisure centers such as Leasowe, Guinea Gap in Egremont, Europa in Birkenhead and West Kirby have installed new equipment and platforms, including large screens for interactive classes.
In addition to virtual classes, face-to-face Les Mills classes are now also offered at various centers led by the highly qualified Invigor8 Fitness team.
Chair of the Tourism, Community, Culture and Leisure Committee Helen Cameron MP said, “Not only do we want our leisure facilities to be great places for residents to stay fit and active, we also want to offer the latest fitness equipment and state-of-the-art programs to appeal to a wide range of residents and potential newcomers.
“The introduction of the world-renowned Les Mills program means everyone can try something new. There’s even a ‘Born to Move’ movement program for little ones as young as two – so our young ones can start raising into a healthy exercise habit.”
