Odstock Health & Fitness Centre has been named ‘Gym of the Year', as voted by readers of the Salisbury Journal🎉

The newspaper held a ballot for the public to choose the best health & fitness facility in the Salisbury area, and was a competition that celebrates venues that go the extra mile for their members, from expert coaching and inclusive classes to a strong community spirit and support for all ages and abilities.

Centre Manager Sally Crook said: “Being named Gym of the Year, voted by the community, means a tremendous amount to our team. The highly-trained and qualified team work hard to offer an encouraging, friendly environment, supporting our members and casual users, whether they’re hospital staff, patients or members of the public, through their exercise journey, whether they are recovering from illness or injury, entering the world of fitness for the first time or just offering tips and advice to regular gym users. Odstock Health & Fitness Centre is essential to the wellbeing of the hospital staff, patients and the local community, and with the wide range of activities available, there is something to offer everyone. The team is always there to deliver with their enthusiasm and passion."

The Centre is sited on the grounds of Salisbury District Hospital and includes two swimming pools, a fully-equipped gym, fitness classes, treatments, squash courts and meeting/function rooms.

❤️ Hot weather and your HEART ❤️

As temperatures rise, your heart has to work harder to keep your body cool. For people living with heart conditions, hot weather can increase the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and added strain on the cardiovascular system.

Look after yourself during hot weather. A few simple precautions can help protect your heart and keep you safe during periods of extreme heat.

🔴⚠️There’s currently a Red Heat-Health Alert in place across the Midlands and southern England.

Extreme heat can affect anyone, but older people, babies and young children, pregnant women, and those with underlying health conditions are at greatest risk. Take precautions to protect yourself, your family, and vulnerable members of the community💛

Call 111 if you need advice and support. If you or someone you care for are experience heatstroke, call 999 or go to A&E.
