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.
