✨ Reformer Pilates studios are coming to West Northamptonshire!
Work has officially begun on a brand-new Reformer studio at Daventry Leisure Centre, marking the start of an exciting rollout across the region 💪
The new purpose-built studio will feature 20 Reformer machines, bringing one of the fastest-growing fitness trends to local communities.
Two more studios are also set to launch in June at:
Lings Forum Leisure Centre ✨
Moulton Leisure Centre ✨
Reformer Pilates uses specialist equipment with adjustable resistance to support strength, flexibility, core stability and rehabilitation - making it suitable for all ages and abilities.
💬 “Reformer truly is for everyone, whether you’re just starting your fitness journey, looking to enhance your routine, or recovering from an injury,” said Simon Fearn, Regional Contract Manager at Everyone Active.
These new studios form part of a wider commitment to bring innovative, inclusive fitness experiences to local communities across West Northamptonshire 💙
We spend a lot of time talking about physical and mental health but social wellness matters too ❤️
Feeling connected, supported and valued plays a huge role in our overall wellbeing.
Whether it's family, friends, teammates or even caring for a pet or plant, having something or someone to show up for gives us purpose.
And it works both ways. Encouragement, praise and a simple "you've got this" can have a real impact on confidence, motivation and self-esteem.
Because wellness isn't just about how strong your body feels, it's also about how connected your life feels ✨
Summer is here and open water swimming is calling ☀️🌊
But while wild swimming can be fun and refreshing, open water comes with real risks.
Before you take the plunge this season, make sure you know how to stay safe around water 🛟
Follow the latest RLSS water safety guidance and build your confidence in and around the water.

🗣️ Helen Marney, Director of Community Participation and Health at Swim England, highlights the importance of swimming lessons giving children the skills to be safe in the water, she said:
"Every summer, families head to the water together, and every summer, tragedies occur that could have been prevented. We want to change that.
Swimming lessons are not just a childhood milestone, they are one of the most important things a parent can do to keep their child safe and not just in the pool, but on holiday, at the beach and around open water.
If your child is not yet in lessons, start now. If they are, keep them going, water confidence doesn't happen overnight, but when it does, everything changes for your child, and for your whole family." 💙

☀️ Summer starts with water safety ☀️
As families look ahead to the summer holidays, our new campaign is reminding parents not to leave water safety until the last minute.
The time to start swimming lessons is now. 💧
Fronted by Michael Gunning, the campaign highlights the difference between a child who can just splash and one who is truly water safe, able to stay calm, float and cope in open water.
Those skills take time to build. ⭐
Swimming lessons started now help families enjoy the summer later!
