Why are the prices going up?
In a statement the leisure operator said said: “Live Active Leisure is your local community leisure trust and is a registered charitable organisation, but like all businesses, we are currently faced with significant inflationary increases to operational running costs.
“While we are mindful of the general cost of living increases that everyone is facing, we have reluctantly had to take the decision to introduce a small price increase of around 3% to most of our products and services that will come into effect from May 1.
“We are however pleased to say that, for the time being, there will not be any increase to our Fitness, Energy or Fun Membership prices.”
