Leisure opportunities in Corby are among the best in the region, says North Northamptonshire Council
North Northamptonshire Council is proud to offer some of the best leisure facilities and services in North Northamptonshire, including Corby East Midlands International Pool.
This multi-million-pound facility built in 2009 offers a 50-metre pool, a 20-metre learner pool, a pirate pool with water slides for children, a large modern gym, group exercise studio health suite and a creche.
Its sister site Lodge Park Sports Centre offers a large modern gym, three group exercise studios, a spin studio, two modern sports halls, creche and a new 4G outdoor Astro turf. All of this means the facilities offer 190-plus group exercise classes per week with visits across the two facilities of more than 550,000 per year.
Members pay only £29.99 a month for unlimited access to swimming, gym, group exercise and health suite access across the two sites.
The facilities only offer part of the story. The swim school is proud to teach more than 1,600 children each month. The health and fitness team are among some of the most qualified fitness professionals you will find anywhere in the Midlands. The council offers specialist exercise programmes such as:
Activity on Referral This 12-week introductory exercise programme enables individuals with an underlying health condition to maintain a physically active lifestyle with a view to improving both their physical and mental wellbeing.
Conditions covered include arthritis, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, COPD, depression, osteoporosis plus much more.
Phase IV Cardiac Rehabilitation A programme designed to help patients get back on their feet – both physically and mentally – after a cardiac event or procedure. Starting in 2003, this programme not only offers exercise support but is a real community.
We Can Move: Cancer and Exercise Rehabilitation This brand new programme, launched in 2021, supports people aged 16-plus that have been diagnosed with cancer. It accepts patients that are both undergoing and are post treatment – exercise has been proven to reduce the chances of recurrence and to improve the health outcomes for a wide variety of cancers.
The PLAN (Positive, Lifestyle, Activity and Nutrition) Programme Launched in January, it is designed for people with a BMI of more than 28.
This programme offers an opportunity to not only lose weight but also to educate them in healthy eating, how to become more active and receive professional support throughout from our team of nutritionists and fitness professionals.
The council also supports Northampton General Hospital with stroke patients so that their transition to a community-based leisure centre is more comfortable.
North Northants Council is proud to offer all its services to the residents of Corby and North Northants. We have plans to develop and offer new services soon.
