RESIDENTS are being encouraged to keep active with new exercise sessions held at The Space in Winyates Centre.

The pay-as-you-go sessions, organised by Redditch Borough Council, include Pilates, Tai Chi and Zumba, cost £3.25 per hourly session and are run by fully qualified instructors.

From June 9, residents can now enjoy a brand new Zumba class at noon every Friday as well as ongoing classes, Pilates (9.30am) and Tai Chi (2pm) every Thursday.

Health intervention officer Hayley Gwilliam, said: "We’re delighted to bring another new opportunity for activity and fitness to our residents. These sessions are gentle but fun meaning they’re suitable for any age and fitness level, whether you’re an older person looking to stay active or a new parent hoping to restart your exercise regime. Come along and try it out. That’s the beauty of the pay as you go sessions."
