Fitmums and Friends Summer Activities 2023

Posted 10th July 2023

Summer is here! And so are our summer activities!

Read on to find out what Fitmums & Friends activities will be taking place this summer...

Remember your membership means you can attend any session anywhere so why not try out some Fitmums & Friends tourism this summer and visit another club? See all clubs here.

All our evening sessions continue as normal (but please do check Bank Holiday openings on your club's Facebook page if your club has a Monday night session). However, our daytime run/walk sessions in Cottingham and Beverley will pause until September. Our Nordic Walking sessions will continue for most of the summer and we also have a number of family-friendly and children's activities taking place this summer. All the details are below.

If you are interested in any of our activities but you feel anxious about getting started, you only need to let us know. There are so many ways we can support you to take those first steps so don't hesitate to get in touch with info@fitmums.org.uk.

Have a lovely, active summer!
