Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough, Councillor Sarah Duffy, has launched a new initiative that offers super savings on a getactiveabc single membership to those working for the emergency services, NHS, social care sector and armed forces, simply by presenting the Blue Light Card.
This new discounted corporate membership includes access to gyms, swimming pools, fitness classes and racquet sports at the nine leisure centres across the borough. Additional benefits include paddlesports, cycle hire and aqua inflatable sessions at South Lake Watersports, climbing wall sessions at Gilford Community Centre and unlimited access to the Sanarium at Banbridge Leisure Centre and Relaxation Suite at Orchard Leisure Centre.
Finding time to fit in exercise around shift patterns can be a challenge when factoring in family time, friends and other commitments. Offering state-of-the-art Life Fitness gym equipment and a wide variety of activities to suit all fitness levels, this new membership helps key workers in the community work out in a way that suits them best for less. It appreciates the huge pressures and demands of roles undertaken by Blue Light Card holders and recognises the importance of offering support through jump-starting or turbocharging the health and wellbeing journey.
Speaking about the initiative, Lord Mayor Councillor Sarah Duffy said: “It is with great pride that I launch this new membership and continue our drive to ensure that access to fitness and leisure facilities remains as affordable as possible. Our blue light workers are the backbone of our community, often putting their lives on the line, and it’s imperative that they get the opportunity to look after their own physical and mental health and wellbeing by getting active.”
Blue Light Card holders can sign up, log in and start saving now on their next workout! For more information, please visit getactiveabc.com/bluelightcard
