ukactive joins 'Fighting Fitter' campaign
The 'Fighting Fitter' campaign, which provides members of the armed forces with discounts at health and leisure facilities across the UK, has seen a huge boost provided with the support of ukactive.
The scheme, launched by the Labour Party in April, originally launched with Pure Gym and Virgin Active offering military discounts at a combined 190 centres.
The addition of Nuffield Health – which is offering a 25 per cent discount on a years membership and David Lloyd who recently offered fee access to clubs for forces and their families over the Armed Forces Day weekend has seen the numbers of participating facilities rise to more than 450.
The campaign has received the backing of former Liberal Democrat leader Ming Campbell, who said: "Our service men and women deserve nothing but the best. With an increased emphasis on good health, access to a gymnasium can make a real difference to people's lives."
David Stalker, ukactive CEO added: "We appreciate the critical role that our armed forces play and ukactive is committed to providing them and their families with opportunities to lead healthy and active lives."
