Chesterfield Borough Council leisure activities go digital


Following the ongoing temporary closures of both Queen’s Park Sports Centre and the Healthy Living Centre, the Chesterfield Borough Council leisure team have been putting together a selection of digital sessions that include dance classes, gymnastics, high-intensity interval training and Pilates.

You can get involved in these classes by visiting either of the center’s Facebook pages below:

The team have also put together a selection of downloadable resources that can be used to support your child’s education around health and fitness. These cover a range of topics from swimming to gymnastics and can be downloaded from the council’s website.

Councillor Jill Mannion-Brunt, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing (right), said: “I want to thank all of our customers for their understanding and support at this difficult time. Our leisure team are working hard to put together digital classes and activities for the whole family that will encourage people to lead a healthy lifestyle and exercise at home.”

With regards to the reopening of the leisure centres, the council will continue to evaluate the situation and update the public in line with the latest Government guidance. If you are currently a member of the leisure centres, your direct debit has been stopped and the council will not resume taking payments until after the centres have reopened.

The midwifery team based at Queen’s Park Sports Centre are still taking appointments, please contact the midwifery team directly to discuss arrangements for visiting the Centre.

Chesterfield Borough Council will continue to provide updates about its services on its dedicated coronavirus information hub: www.chesterfield.gov.uk/your-council/coronavirus-information-hub/leisure-services-updates
