Summer Open Weekend at Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre
Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre is excited to announce an Open Weekend on 18th & 19th July 2026, inviting the local community to experience their state-of-the-art facilities and activities for free. If you didn't know we recently invested £250,000 into new Technogym equipment in the gym. This special event offers the perfect opportunity for residents to explore the wide range of services and programmes available at the centre, encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle for all ages.
During the Open Weekend, Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre will grant free access to their gym, swimming pool, fitness classes, and more, showcasing the centre's commitment to providing accessible and affordable leisure services to the community. Guests are encouraged to try out new activities, meet the friendly staff, and learn more about the various membership options available.
The centre's management team is looking forward to welcoming both existing and new members to this fun-filled weekend, emphasising the importance of staying active and engaged within the community. "We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy our facilities and programmess," said General Manager Danait Tsegaye. "Our Open Weekend is a great chance for residents to discover new ways to stay fit, make new friends, and improve their overall wellbeing."
In addition to the wide range of free activities, our Healthwise team will be providing free health checks for the public to book into on Saturday between 10am and 2pm.
On Sunday there is a focus for inclusive activity on the athletics track. Our community partners Firefly have their free weekly Frame running session for children with disabilities between 9.45am and 11am.
