You can start your journey to a healthier lifestyle at any time. At Broadway Leisure Centre we want to provide opportunities for people of all ages to be active!
We have a variety of different options available too, including pay as you go and our Better Health Senior membership
If you're aged 60 or over and looking to get more active, our Better Health Senior membership allows you to access the gym, swimming pool, health sutie and aqua aerobics classes at Broadway Leisure Centre, all at a competitve price.
We believe that staying socially active is just as important as staying physically active - at any age. That's why we run regular senior swim sessions and aqua aerobics classes, offering you the opportunity to meet new people and grow friendships near you.
If that wasn't enough, Better is a not for profit organisation, all proceeds from your membership fees are reinvested right back into your local community, enabling us to make fitness more accessible to everyone.

Aqua Aerobics classes are a great way to mix up a traditional gym workout with the wondrous benefits of water. It only takes a few sessions before you'll see a big difference in your overall fitness.
In our Aqua Aerobics classes, the water supports the body putting less stress on your joints and muscles and the impact of gravity is less in the water allowing a greater range of motion.
Our sessions run as follows:
Monday 09:15 - 10:00
Monday 19:00 - 19:45
Wednesday 18:30 - 19:15
Thursday 18:30 - 19:15
Book online or via the Better UK app.
There are many health benefits for swimming including improved heart health, it's gentle on the joints, increases flexibility, muscle strength and tone and is a good booster for your mental health too!

Wednesdays 11:00 - 12:00
Fridays 09:00 - 10:00 & 10:00 - 11:00
These sessions are included in the Better Health Senior membership and for Manchester residents aged 60+, these sessions are included as part of your free swimming access.
