Newham on its way to a healthier future!

In 2012 Newham will jointly host the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, welcoming the world's finest athletes to Newham. But it's important for us to start getting fit now and prove that Newham is leading the way to a healthier future.

We want to encourage Newham's young athletes to train and realise their potential in time for the Games. Whether you aspire to compete in the Olympic Games or Paralympic Games, or just simply want to keep fit, the borough's four leisure centres are an excellent place to start introducing physical activity into your lifestyle. We've made sure that all the facilities are affordably priced and we regularly offer free swimming for children.

There's a whole range of state-of-the-art facilities to take advantage of including gyms, swimming pools, a climbing wall, sauna and steam rooms and sports halls, so you don't need to be bored or find exercise a chore.

We all need to put our best foot forward to narrow the health gap between Newham and the rest of the UK and whether you want to enjoy getting fit as a social activity or prefer a good workout on your own, visiting your local leisure centre is certainly a step in the right direction.

Sir Robin Wales, Mayor of Newham
