Student Fitness to Benefit from Partnership

CHESTER, U.K. - Sept. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Students coming to Chester to continue their education this September will be able to improve the health of their bodies as well as their minds thanks to a new partnership in the city. Letting agent The Big Let Company and Total Fitness gym have joined forces to offer discounted packages to students starting degrees and other courses at Chester University in the next few months.

The idea is to promote the fact that keeping fit can improve the mind’s ability to withhold information thereby helping students with their studies and capacity for learning. Discounts are available on joining fees, monthly rates and a huge range of courses at the Liverpool Road based gym. To take advantage of the scheme, students must be tenants of The Big Let Company and produce their student ID card when signing up.

Mike Barley, director of The Big Let Company, said from his office on Sealand Road, “Fitness and a healthy lifestyle is quite often forgotten when young people move away from home to start university life. We’d like to change that and thought one way we could do it would be to make it easier and affordable for any of our student tenants to join a local gym. So we approached Total Fitness who were only too happy to come up with a great range of membership options. Their gym is in really close proximity to the university too so students can train when it’s convenient.”

Some of the discounts on offer are a 12-month contract with £5 joining fee at £29.99 a month, with up to 3-payment freezes included or a no contract package at £35-per month with a £5 joining fee. All prices entitle students to full use of the gym’s facilities, including 3-pools and a hydro-pool and poolside heatrooms, gymnasiums, which includes a free-weight room  and over 50- different fitness classes.  Female students can also use the ladies only gym at the site. All students coming to Chester can take advantage of a free day's trial at the gym too.

Bernadette Pedder, co-director of The Big Let Company, said “We’re looking forward to helping the student population get fit while they’re living in Chester. As a company, we’re really interested in sports and regularly take part in 10k runs and half-marathons for charity in and around the city, and we’re hoping our passion for fitness inspires students renting our properties to join the gym.”
