Chase Fit
Getting active on your doorstep
As well as our leisure centre offers, we also provide a wealth of activities around the local community, ensuring everyone has the chance to improve their wellbeing. From setting up new programmes in parks to working with local clubs to develop their own offers, we aim to ensure that people can get active whatever your background, ability or need.
Walking
Enjoy the beauty of Cannock Chase and come along to one of our walks that take place throughout the week. The walks cover a range of difficulty levels, so you can decide which route suits you. Led by our volunteer walk leaders, they’re a great opportunity to enjoy the open air, have fun and get in some gentle exercise.
Running
We offer our own free Couch to 5k programme, which takes place in local parks or on Cannock Chase. Supported by our staff, the 10-week programme follows the NHS plan, along with the support and motivation of a group. Whether this is your first time putting on your trainers or you just want to get back into running, the session caters for all abilities.
Cycling
We were so excited to see the Commonwealth Games Mountain Biking competition come to our area in 2022. Building on the legacy of the Games, we have developed a number of offers to suit budding cyclists and the keen enthusiast. We hold regular weekly bike rides on Cannock Chase, seasonal inclusive sessions, Ladies Only Beginners Cycling Groups and a Couch to 50k cycling programme. Staff are on hand with advice and support so you can get the most out of your session.
