Club Lewisham

Club Lewisham is an exciting new scheme that has been introduced for the older members of our community to help them to stay active and meet new people.

The programme is available for all Lewisham residents who are aged 60+ and is run at each of our five centres:

• Glass Mill Leisure Centre
• Wavelengths Leisure Centre
• Bellingham Leisure and Lifestyle Centre
• Forest Hill Pools
• Ladywell Arena

Sessions offer both activity and social sessions designed to keep you fit and active whilst providing a great opportunity to socialise and with new and old friends.

There are two ways to participate in our friendly sessions. For those who feel as though regular attendance will be more beneficial, our monthly membership is recommended. As well as having unlimited access to gym, public swim sessions and fitness classes across Lewisham, this membership will also allow to participate in any of our Club Lewishmam activities, at no additional cost to you.

To join, simply

• Click on the JOIN NOW button below
• Choose your preferred centre (although access is given to all Lewisham centres with this membership)
• Select the Better Health Partnership Senior membership option.
• Follow the steps to complete the sign up process.

There is also a pay as you go option for those who would prefer to be able to book into activites on a more ad hoc basis.

All activities (for both members and casual users) will need to pre-booked using the BOOK NOW buttons above, or on the Better UK app.

Our friendly concierge team at the centres will also be able to help with bookings and answer any further questions that you may have.
