FITNESS assessments are taking place at a sports centre in an upcoming event.

Haslingden Sports Centre staff are holding an MOT Fitness awareness day to check the health of centre users.

The sessions next month measure weight and waist to hip ratio. Gym goers can also have their heart rate assessed and check their muscular strength and endurance.

Staff can also measure flexibility and aerobic endurance.

Participants will then get tailor-made suggestions about changes they can make to their exercise programme. Different training methods and personal training advice are also available.

The next session is on throughout the day at Haslingden Leisure Centre, Helmshore Road, on Wednesday, July 10.
