Introduction to the Junior Gym Membership

This summer, Fusion Lifestyle, the charity that manages Golden Lane Sport & Fitness in the City of London is giving parents and carers the chance to nominate a young person aged 10 – 15 who’s life could be transformed by a free junior gym membership and 1:1 support from an expert PT team to help improve their fitness, mental health, confidence and overall wellbeing.

The search comes as Fusion Lifestyle launch a brand-new Junior Gym membership, in a bid to help young people gain better access to affordable fitness facilities in the City of London.

Why is the Junior Gym Membership Necessary?

NHS guidelines recommend young people do two types of activity each week, aerobic and strength – aiming for a total of at least 60 minutes of moderate or vigorous intensity physical activity spread across each day*. With 2022 statistics from the NHS indicating that 19% of 10 – 15 year olds are obese** there is a real need to ensure future generations look after their health and wellbeing. UK Active CEO, Huw Edwards, has commented that without government intervention, the next generation will grow up with low activity levels, posing a serious threat to their future health and prospects so it’s imperative that leisure providers offer young people affordable access to facilities.

What Does the Junior Gym Membership Offer?

To help young people achieve these goals and build on their self-confidence, improve their fitness and health, Fusion Lifestyle’s new junior memberships offer a combination of gym access with a parent or guardian and supervised, instructor-led Gym Rebels sessions, overseen by a Fusion PT. The memberships will also give young people access to swimming and group exercise classes.

Nominating a Deserving Young Person

To help launch the memberships, Fusion is searching for a deserving young person from the City of London who will be given a one year Junior Gym membership and have their fitness journey followed and documented as they improve their health. To nominate simply fill in this form by Friday 26th September.

Terms and conditions apply, the successful nominator’s parent or guardian will be contacted within 5 days of the closing date.
