A SPECIAL membership is on offer at leisure centres across the Dudley borough to help residents get active this January.

The Festive Fitness offer continues this month until January 31 and allows people to take out an annual membership for £200.

The deal offers a saving of more than £150 against a standard monthly membership, according to Dudley Council.

Membership includes unlimited use of Lifestyles gyms, public swimming, fitness classes, badminton and off peak squash and use of the running track at The Dell Stadium.

The membership is accepted at Crystal, Dudley and Halesowen leisure centres as well as The Dell Stadium, and is valid for 12 months.

Members will also receive a personal training programme and priority online booking.

Councillor Khurshid Ahmed, cabinet member responsible for leisure centres, said: "I hope people will give their health and finances a boost this year by taking advantage of this fantastic membership offer.

"We want all borough residents to enjoy being active and with such a range of sessions and activities on offer in our leisure centres there is something for everyone.”

A junior annual membership is also available for £120.
