Try Nuffield Health for free as a family this April - here’s how

As a mum of two myself, I know how difficult it can be to get back into the swing of things. Whether it’s six months postpartum, or six years, between nursery and school runs, work deadlines, and the endless list of household chores—finding time to exercise can feel like an impossible task. 

But now, thanks to Nuffield Health, you can find time to exercise and spend quality time with your family. From swimming lessons and Family Splash sessions to crèche facilities and the Nuffy Bear Day Nursery, their centres are designed to support every member of your crew. And this spring, you can experience a trial for free.

Between 1st and 21st April 2025, Nuffield Health is offering a free three-day family trial at participating fitness and wellbeing centres across the UK. Whether you’re keen to get back into a workout routine, want to explore family-friendly facilities, or simply fancy a swim with the kids – this is your chance to test it all out, no strings attached.

Your free three-day family trial at Nuffield Health is designed to give you a real taste of what life could look like with fitness and wellbeing built into your family routine. 

Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

• Access for up to two adults per family: Whether you want to work out together or take turns with childcare, both grown-ups can enjoy full use of the facilities across three consecutive days.

• Family-friendly facilities: Kids can get involved too! From splash sessions in the pool to checking out the crèche or nursery (where available), little ones are welcome at many centres. Just be sure to check your local gym for specific availability and age restrictions.

• Gym floor and equipment use: Adults can enjoy state-of-the-art cardio and strength training equipment, with spacious gym floors and a relaxed, supportive environment.

• Swimming pool access: Family swim times are available at participating centres, so you can enjoy pool time together. (Note: children are only allowed during specified sessions, so it’s best to check the schedule in advance.)

• Wellness and relaxation facilities: Some centres also include access to saunas, steam rooms, and spa-like areas for that all-important wind-down after a workout.

• A friendly, family-focused atmosphere: From welcoming front desk staff to expert personal trainers, you’ll be made to feel right at home.
