Group exercise classes
We offer a range of group exercise classes which could be just what you are looking for. You will feel supported, whether it’s high energy classes like Zumba and Boxfit, or something more chilled like Yoga and Pilates.
You can pay as you go for each class or it’s included in your Vision membership if you have one.
Parks
Redbridge has a huge range of parks and open spaces to enjoy including country parks, lakes, play areas and kitchen gardens.
We have eleven outdoor gyms which are free to use and a fun way to stay active whilst getting some fresh air. By using the outdoor gyms frequently this will enable you to maintain/lose weight, strengthen your body, increase your fitness levels and improve mental wellbeing.
Wellbeing walks
