Service men and women across the country are being invited to get active for free at Everyone Active centres in celebration of Armed Forces Day.

Leisure operator Everyone Active is offering members of the Armed Forces complimentary access to its over 200 leisure facilities nationwide on Saturday 26 June and Sunday 27 June. The goodwill gesture has been made to mark Armed Forces Day, which takes place on Saturday 26 June 2021.

This weekend, all those who serve in the Armed Forces will be granted free-of-charge access to the gyms and swimming pools in Everyone Active centres across the country.

There are currently 198,880 UK Service Personnel. Armed Forces Day is an opportunity for the nation to show their support for these service men and women and their families, as well as veterans and reservists.

David Bibby, managing director at Everyone Active, said: “We work with hundreds of communities across the country and we’re determined to support the people who live within them, including the service men and women.

“This initiative helps us to show our appreciation for their brilliant work. By offering them access to our centres, whether it’s a workout in the gym, a few leisurely lengths of the swimming pools or spending quality times with their loved ones during our family fun swims, we hope they are able to take advantage of the wealth of activities we offer.”

All Armed Forces personnel will be required to present proof of service at their chosen Everyone Active centre. They will also need to fill in the necessary Health & Safety forms and watch the online induction before being granted free access.
