Gym fees set to rise at trust’s 11 venues
Live Active Leisure cites increase in running costs
... we have reluctantly taken the decision to introduce a small price increase Live Active Leisure spokesperson
The price of using certain fitness facilities in the Strath and beyond is set to rise due to “significant inflationary increases” to operational running costs.
Live Active Leisure ( LAL) has announced that the costs of accessing gyms, swimming sessions, fitness classes, sports hall use and ice skating fees are to increase by about three per cent.
The charitable trust runs sports centres and facilities at community campuses across Perth and Kinross – including at
Strathearn Community Campus in Crieff – and has said that the new prices are to come into effect at all of its facilities
from May 1.
In a statement, the leisure trust said: “Live Active Leisure is your local community leisure trust and is a registered charitable organisation, but like all businesses, we are currently faced with significant inflationary increases to operational running costs.
“While we are mindful of the general cost of living increases that everyone is facing, we have reluctantly had to take the decision to introduce a small price increase of around three per cent to most of our products and services that will
come into effect from May 1.
“We are however pleased to say that, for the time being, there will not be any increase to our fitness, energy or fun membership prices.
“You can view the new prices on our website.
“Thank you for your continued loyalty and custom and we look forward to seeing you in one of our venues soon.”
Prices are split into three categories: adults, juniors/concessions and seniors.
Each of these categories is split into two sections: Live Active card-holders
and those without one.
The card offers discounts on entry fees and services.
It currently costs £13.35 per year and will be going up 40p to £13.75 from May 1, while juniors/concessions and seniors can get a card for free.
Junior prices are for those aged one to 15 years, while adult prices are for those aged 16 to 64 and the seniors’ category covers those aged 65 or older.
As well as Live Active Strathearn, LAL also runs a total of 10 other venues throughout Perth and Kinross.
