YMCA Thornton has officially opened its new Active Wellness Suite, a cutting-edge facility designed to help individuals of all abilities ease back into fitness and improve overall health and wellbeing.
The suite, which is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, was launched by the Deputy Mayor of Wyre, Councillor Steve Nichols, who plans to join himself.
He said: “It was a pleasure to visit the new Active Wellness Suite, it is a fantastic addition to our leisure offering in the borough for residents and looks terrific.
“By providing this dedicated suite of innovative, accessible equipment, we can ensure that everyone in Wyre, no matter what their age or ability, can enjoy the endless benefits that being active brings.
“Well done to everyone involved in the creation of this suite, which supports our Wyre Moving More strategy and helps to strengthen the connections between sport, physical activity and health and wellbeing by providing even more opportunities to get everyone in Wyre moving more. We want to see as many people benefitting from the new Active Wellness suite as possible.”
The Active Wellness Suite is equipped with power-assisted exercise machines from Innerva. Specifically designed to support those who may be new to fitness, recovering from injury or managing mobility challenges, the equipment provides a unique, low-impact workout experience, encouraging users to regain strength, mobility, and confidence at their own pace.
