Thanks to Cllr Leagh Douglas Selkirkshire and Eileen for sharing the impact the centre has.

If you’re thinking of ways to to improve your health and wellbeing and are inspired by Eileen’s story, we’d love to support. Pop in and chat to the team or give us a call

WHY I USE SELKIRK LEISURE CENTRE.
REAL PEOPLE. REAL STORIES. 🏊‍♀️ 🏋️ 🧘‍♀️

MEET EILEEN 👋

What if getting fitter didn’t mean having to know what you’re doing before you start?

Eileen took out a Live Borders membership eight years ago and has been a regular ever since, enjoying the pool, Aquafit and a variety of other fitness classes.

For Eileen, it’s not just about exercise. It’s about looking after her health and wellbeing, having the motivation to keep going – and enjoying the social connection too.

And her advice for anyone who might not know where to start is wonderfully simple:

“A big benefit of going to a class with an instructor is that you don’t have to think about how to do it – you just show up and are guided every step of the way.”

Whether it’s Aquafit or another class, just come along and give it a go - you’ll be guided along the way.

Over the coming months, I’ll be introducing you to more of the real people who use Selkirk Leisure Centre – people from across our community, of different ages and abilities, and with very different reasons for coming through the doors.

I hope one of these stories strikes a chord and inspires you to come along and give it a try.

Every visit is an investment in your health and wellbeing – and every visit helps show why Selkirk Leisure Centre matters to our community.

Thank you Eileen for being the first to share your story. 💙
