Leisure centres to see upgrades thanks to new partnership
Residents in Richmond upon Thames will be able to book classes at leisure centres more easily and manage their memberships online, thanks to a new partnership with Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL). From 1st December, residents will be able to book classes and activities with Better, bringing bookings, payments, and memberships together in one place. Pay-as-you-go and phone memberships will continue to be available with Better.
This comes after a new 10-year partnership was struck last month between Pools on the Park and Teddington Pools and Fitness Centre now managed by GLL. It will improve improvements to facilities and programmes to help residents access fitness and leisure activities more conveniently.
Residents can expect:
- More choice: Access a wider range of classes and activities with updated timetables
- Better information: Programme details and schedules will be clearer and easier to view online
- Support from staff: Teams will continue to provide help both online and at the centres
- Centralised bookings: Bookings, payments, and memberships will now be handled through a single system
The Council says it and GLL are “committed to maintaining the welcoming leisure centres that residents know, while introducing improvements to make visits easier and more convenient.”
The following leisure centres will continue to be managed directly by the Council:
- Hampton Sports and Fitness Centre
- Shene Sports and Fitness Centre
- Teddington Sports Centre
- Whitton Sports and Fitness Centre
- Active Hampton
