Santa’s stuck: Join our Lapland Challenge to save Christmas!🎅🏽

04 Nov 2024

We need to get him to Lapland & back so he can collect his parcels in time for Christmas Eve. That’s 4,194 km!

Help us get Santa to Lapland & back by Christmas Eve 

No matter how you travel in the Gym or Pool – run, walk, cycle, swim, row, ski-erg or anything else! – just keep a track of how far you’ve gone each visit & add it to our daily distance board in reception.

We’ll add up everyone’s distances & move him along his route, making this a real team effort!

✔️ Open to everyone – monthly members & PAYG users

✔️ Starts 11th November & finishes on Christmas Eve

✔️ You must scan in when you arrive at the centre! ⚠️ No scan, no distance ⚠️

✔️ Whether you swim 25m or run a 10k, add your distance to the board in reception

✔️ Our top 3 attendees (not top 3 distances!) will get an extra Christmas treat

Join in from 11th Nov!

It’s a bit of fun & hopefully gets us into some festive spirit. 🎄
