Please note that Active Nation Birchwood and Yarborough have closed with immediate effect as of 03/04/2025. We are actively exploring alternative options to ensure continued support for members of the public. As soon as we have alternative options, we shall communicate this out straight away.

What our clients say...

"Before this programme, I wasn't doing much exercise and I had not been eating healthily. Now I am feeling great. I am happy losing weight and I enjoy exercising on a regular basis."

"I have lost a stone in weight, I am really pleased about that. I have become independent in the aquacise session at the Meridian Leisure Centre and I understand more about how to use the machines in the gym independently. I am more confident going to the gym and enjoy it."
