Colombo: As we wave goodbye to the holiday season and dive into January, many of us feel the weight of those new year’s resolutions. It can be tough, right?
If you’re looking to drink less, quit smoking, save some cash, or shed a few pounds, there are definitely ways to make it easier this year.
The Colombo Centre on Southwark’s Colombo Street is kicking off a Wellbeing Week from January 20 to 26. It’s a great chance to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle.
They’ve spruced up the gym with new equipment, thanks to a £100,000 boost from some generous foundations. It’s looking fresh and ready for action!
During the last week of January, everyone in Southwark can grab free passes, try out taster sessions, and snag some special discounts.
The centre has everything you need: a gym, studios, therapy rooms, and both indoor and outdoor courts. Plus, there’s a community kitchen!
Memberships are budget-friendly, and they even offer free options for those on low incomes. So, sticking to those resolutions just got a bit easier.
Stuart Flude, the centre manager, believes that good health should be accessible to everyone. He describes the Colombo Centre as a community gym with a big heart.
Thanks to the funding, they’ve upgraded their gear to better support their members. If getting fit is on your list this year, Wellbeing Week is the perfect time to check it out.
And here’s the cool part: all the money they make goes right back into keeping the centre running and funding community activities.
The Colombo Centre is run by the Coin Street Centre Trust, a registered charity.
David Hopkins, the director of community, emphasizes that the centre is more than just a gym; it’s a lifeline for the community.
They offer free and low-cost sports and wellbeing activities for everyone, including older adults and young people with additional needs. By joining, you’re helping support these important programs.
