How it works
Manchester City Council is funding a 12-month junior membership for local secondary-school children aged 11 to 16. It covers designated junior gym sessions, swimming and fitness classes where available. Participating centres include Arcadia, East Manchester, Hough End and Manchester Aquatics Centre, although the activities and session times differ by venue.
A parent or guardian can register a child in person at a participating centre; younger children need an adult with them. Bring proof of a Manchester address, such as a council tax bill or a recent utility bill, plus the child's details. A gym induction is required before using gym equipment. Check the official page for eligible postcodes, the full centre list and any centre-specific restrictions before travelling.
