Active Youth Changes at Wombourne Leisure Centre
🚨 Changes to Active Youth Gym Access at Wombourne Leisure Centre 🚨
South Staffordshire Council are making changes to their Active Youth gym sessions to improve supervision and ensure the safety of all young people using the gym. Here’s what you need to know:
👥 13+ Access with a Guardian
• Young people aged 13+ can attend the gym any time with a participating parent/guardian (18+)
• 13-year-olds can no longer attend Active Youth sessions alone
• They are only permitted to use cardiovascular machines (no weights)
💪 Active Youth For 14–15 Year Olds
• Active Youth sessions are now exclusively for 14–15-year-olds
• During these supervised sessions, they can use fixed weight machines up to 5kg
• Free weights are not permitted for this age group
• Weights can only be used during Active Youth sessions – not at other times
🕒 Outside Active Youth Hours
• 14–15-year-olds can use CV machines only outside of Active Youth times
• No weight use is allowed unless you’re 16+
• Free weights remain strictly for 16+ users only
📣 Coming Soon: Fitness for 10–13 Year Olds
This will impact some 13-year-olds who currently attend Active Youth. That’s why they’re working on exciting new fitness classes just for 10–13 year olds – coming later this year! 💥
Stay tuned for more updates! 👀
