Member Testimonial: Norman Heath (94) has been using Bridport Leisure Centre for 30 years. He continues to attend regular classes to maintain his health, and also for the valuable social aspect. He explains how important his visits to the centre remain: “The exercise helped with my confidence following a stroke, it definitely helped with my recovery. I still come to classes twice a week, three times if I can. Exercise is so important as are these classes, they loosen up the joints and everyone benefits from the social contact.”
