World Heart Day: 29 September – keep fit at Sandwell or City gym

September 28, 2022

Looking after your heart is vital to your overall health. Tragically, heart disease and stroke remain two of the world’s leading causes of death. But there is lots you can do to help, including staying active.

Have you thought about joining one of our gyms?

If you wish to use the gym facilities at Sandwell, simply register your interest with the wellbeing team. Following an online induction, you can commence using the gym which is located in Trinity House, ground floor. The gym accommodates a maximum of two users at any one time and colleagues will be limited to a maximum of 40 minutes each.

At City gym, we’ve created the space you need to work out while keeping a safe distance. The gym has also been rearranged and clearly marked out for you to use safely, so it is easy for everyone to follow. The maximum number of users is five at any one time with the maximum gym time usage being one hour per visit, in order to allow other colleagues the opportunity to use the facility.

We’ve placed more hand sanitiser dispensers and wipes around both gyms so it’s easy to regularly clean your hands and equipment during your visit. We ask that you also sanitise your hands before entering the gym to keep yourself and others safe. For ventilation, colleagues will be responsible for opening windows whilst exercising and closing when finished.

Existing members: Your pass will already be activated ready for use.
