A new fitness scheme has been launched by the Isle of Wight Council’s 1Leisure service, to welcome new clients who are looking to get fit for life with a price for life.
You can now sign-up for a Gold One Card membership and receive an exclusive one-off offer of 12 months for the price of 11, with a guaranteed price fix on membership fee for life at £33 per month.
For £6.98 a week (with the introductory offer), new members will be able to access all 1Leisure sites (Medina, The Heights and Westridge) and benefit from unlimited access to one-to-one training sessions in the Tone Zone gyms, fitness classes, swimming and racket sports facilities.
Stuart Babington, 1Leisure centres manager, said:
“We offer personal training, fitness classes, swimming, racket sports, free parking and the health suite.
“We want to encourage people of all ages to get fit for life and sign up for a reliable service that has no hidden costs, and gives peace of mind that once signed up there will be no rising membership fees upon renewal.
“With the Gold membership, you can enjoy a friendly face for training offering you guidance without judgement.
“The introductory offer of 12 months for the price of 11 is only running until 15 March, so sign-up now to make sure you don’t miss out.”

Councillor Julie Jones-Evans, cabinet member for business development, said:
“Physical fitness is extremely beneficial and important for your mental health too. It has a huge potential to enhance your overall well-being. – it relieves stress, and anxiety, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts your overall mood.
“The 1Leisure team can support with both training and mentoring members to achieve positive changes to enhance their quality of life at any age.
“That’s why this fitness for life is such a great approach, It’s a lifestyle change that you can commit to putting yourself first, and making yourself a priority in your life.”
‘Price for life’ is only for members who do not cancel. If members cancel and re-join, they pay the new/current sales price regardless of what they paid before.
The council increases their prices every year, 1Leisure prices are set to go up on 1 April 2023. If new customers join now, they’ll only ever pay £33 per month for the contract Gold One card membership. With the added bonus that for the first year members will get one month free.
This offer is valid until Wednesday, 15th March 2023.

It should be pointed out that other gyms on the Island charge £20-£25 per month (or down to £17 per month equivalent if you pay upfront for the year). They don’t have the swimming facilities that some Council centres do, and I guess that’s the extra you’re paying for, even though many probably don’t use them.
Not just swimming pools squash courts spin classes and many different fitness classes.
These centres should be self supporting 100% and not dependent on support from council tax. Separate businesses.
Roads should be self supporting 100% and not dependent on support from council tax. Separate businesses.
Of course it won’t be price for life. Like the £35 annual pensioner parking permits that went up in the space of a few years to nearly £500.
Just can’t afford the car parking charges!
Why don’t the council do their number one duty and provide housing that is fit to live in ? Island home finder is a farce, and so called choice based is a con, you are not allowed to properly see the properties, you express interest then they penalise you if you do not take it . So they can force people into some of their hell holes probably.
