A fitness initiative in North Lincolnshire has attracted nearly 800 participants within its first three months.
Launched in April, the programme gives eligible residents eight weeks of complimentary access to local gyms, swimming pools, and virtual classes during off-peak times. It is designed for people aged 66 and over, as well as those aged 16 and above with a learning disability.
Between April and July, 788 residents took part. The scheme, called Fit for Free, aims to reduce social isolation while supporting both physical and mental well-being.
By lifting financial barriers, the initiative encourages healthier lifestyles and offers opportunities for residents who may not usually access fitness facilities.
