Our Forest Leisure Centres at Lydney, Coleford, Cinderford, Newent and Sedbury are accessible to people of all ages and all levels of fitness and we offer memberships to suit everyone.
Becoming a member of Forest Leisure means that you automatically become a ‘Pay As You Go’ user, which simply means that you pay every time you visit one of our leisure centres to take part in an activity. Being a member means that you save money of the cost of activities and facility hire and gives you access to all the activities we have to offer and allows you to book most of them in advance. There is a small annual charge for being a Pay As You Go member of just £3.00 for adults and £2.00 for members with a concession or juniors under the age of 16 but the benefits of having a membership card will mean that you avoid our non member surcharges, which will save you lots of money throughout the year! Once you have become a Forest Leisure member you will have access to booking the wide range of activities that we have on offer such as health and fitness classes and racket sports.
If you wish to use any of our four fitness suites you will need to be aged 14 years and over and have an induction first. To book your induction is easy simply contact your local Forest Leisure Centre reception and choose a daytime, evening or weekend appointment. During your induction one of our friendly instructors will show you how to use the equipment effectively and efficiently, helping you to get the most benefit from your visits. Your fitness instructor will also design a personal exercise programme just for you, to help you achieve your exercise goals. As time goes on and you may feel confident enough to challenge yourself more or you may want to target certain areas of your body so ask our instructors for a FREE programme review, where you can revisit your goals and maybe have your programme stepped up to increase the intensity of your workout.
The current Pay As You Go fee to use any of our Fitness Suites is £6.00 per visit, so if you are a regular user by upgrading from a Pay As You Go member to one of our membership packages you will experience fantastic savings and you will be able to use all five of our Forest Leisure Centres. As an extra benefit of taking out any of our membership options you can swim for FREE at any of our Forest Leisure pools at Lydney, Coleford, Cinderford and Newent during public designated sessions. Our new Ultimate membership covers our most popular activities and includes usage of all four of our fitness suites, swimming, health and fitness classes and racket sports, plus use of the train station training room and the 30 minute express fitness classes at our Newent centre.
Our membership packages are available by monthly direct debit or a one off pay in full annual fee. If you would like advice on the most suitable package for you speak to one of our reception team who will be happy to help.
