Fusion is encouraging local residents around the Dartmouth area to leap into a new activity.

The leisure centre in the town has a new campaign called ‘Fitness Your Way’ which was created to encourage residents to try new activities and exercises they’ve never tried before.

The campaign has also highlighted the wealth of choice available on your doorstep. As a large fitness centre in the area, it has a variety of facilities on offer including swimming, the latest gym and fitness equipment, outdoor pitches and an extensive programme of group exercise classes such as pilates and aerobics.

There is even a free pass available for readers to book their own free visit and try a new activity.

Our reporter, Charley Adams took on this challenge and tried a pilates class. Normally a hockey player or runner this was far from her normal exercise routine.

She said: “I really enjoyed the class, so much more than I expected. It was a rewarding blend of calming exercise and strengthening routines which would help improve anyones flexibility-even my own!

“There was a variety of core, spine and joint exercises which you could adapt to any ability, making it a very welcoming class for beginners.

“The class was completely different to my normal exercise routines, but I found it very rewarding.

“During the class you could feel the exercises targeting the deep muscles supporting the spine and joints and strengthening the muscles across the whole body.”

This is just one of the classes on offer in Dartmouth. To find out more about the campaign please visit https://www.fusion-lifestyle.com/centres/dartmouth-leisure-centre/.

The centre has had major investments recently, now offering a variety of fitness and activities for all ages and abilities under one roof.

Among the improvements is a new extension linking the main entrance to Dartmouth Indoor Pool, new gym equipment, a new poolside seating and viewing area, a new cafe point and a new entrance with a turnstile and reception.

In addition, the centre has a large sports hall for badminton, football, basketball and much more.
