The Bankside Health Club Launches Special SE1 Residents Membership
When setting up The Bankside Health Club we had two core aims in mind. The first was centred around our passionate belief in promoting and delivering a first class facility for assisting the Health & Fitness goals of our members; the second was that we would operate as an integral part of the thriving SE1 community.
To that end we have now launched our SE1 residents membership. This means that from as little as £28 per month SE1 residents can gain access to the facilities at the following times;
Mon-Fri 9.30am-11.00am, 2.30pm-4.00pm, 7.30pm-Close
Sat & Sun 8.00am-4.00pm
The Club''''s General Manager Heidi Blackburn, who initiated the membership stated "Southwark is famous for its community atmosphere and having spoken to many local residents I felt that not only was there a desire for this sort of membership but also that it would be a great benefit to many in our community".
The move has also been welcomed by local groups; Catherine Bowman, Coordinator for Bankside Residents'''' Forum said "I''''m delighted the (Bankside) Health Club is making such an effort to deliver for local residents"
