Welcome to your new look leisure guide, which contains
lots of information about your local Better leisure centres
in Newham.
GLL is the charitable social enterprise that runs your local
Better leisure facilities. And we’re not just any leisure
company. We’re a charitable social enterprise, that exists
for the benefit of everyone in your community. We do all
of this in partnership with Newham London, and unlike
the private sector, we don’t take profit to pay dividends
to shareholders. As a not–for-profit charitable social
enterprise, every penny of profit we make is reinvested
back into community projects, refurbishing our facilities
and bringing you brand new state of the art equipment.
We pride ourselves on providing high quality leisure
and fitness facilities at affordable prices, so everyone in
Newham can enjoy the benefits of a healthy and active
lifestyle. In recognition of our achievements, we’re very
proud to be the first leisure operator in the UK to be
awarded the prestigious Social Enterprise Mark and the
Prime Minister’s Big Society Award. On top of this, we all
know 2012 is going to be a very big year for the world of
sport, and we’re delighted to play our part in delivering
the legacy for London as the operator chosen to run the
Aquatics Centre and Multi-Use Arena after the Games.
Whilst we make every effort to ensure all the information
in your leisure guide is up to date, sometimes details can
be subject to last minute changes. For all our up to date
information, please speak to a member of staff, or visit
our website at, www.better.org.uk
From me and all my team, I’d like to thank you for your
custom and hope you enjoy using your Better leisure
centre in 2012 and beyond.
Introduction – councillor
statement
With the Olympic Park right here in
Newham, what more inspiration could
you need to get involved in sport. We
have a shared vision to make Newham a
place where people choose to live, work
and stay. We stand by our commitment
to bring value for money, high quality sport and facilities,
and to prioritise the things that residents value the most.
Building a community which is inclusive and fair for
everyone is central to our plans for the future and we
believe in providing the best opportunities for residents
to get active, stay fit and healthy and to try new things.
Be inspired by the 2012 Games to make the most of our
excellent gym facilities and try all sorts of activities at our
four leisure centres including swimming, exercise classes,
fencing, karate, basketball, athletics and much more. We
will also continue to provide free swims for under 16s
and over 60s. A wide range of sports clubs also provide
opportunities for everyone to get active.
You can also take advantage of Newham’s parks and
open spaces, so why not head down to your local park
to try the trim trails and outdoor gyms or simply enjoy a
relaxing stroll.
Whether young or old, novice or experienced, Newham
offers something for everyone.

Mayor of Newham

You can take advantage of a range of fitness equipment
in our fully equipped, air-conditioned gym. There are
cardiovascular machines such as treadmills and rowers,
resistance equipment, including free weights, dedicated
stretching areas and fitness aids such as Swiss balls.
Would you like a fitness programme tailored to your
needs? Just ask a Better fitness instructor and they’ll be
happy to work one out for you.
Before using the gym, you’ll need to complete a free*
induction, which you should book in advance at reception.
This allows our fitness instructors to check you are well
enough to train and gives you the opportunity to get
advice about other activities on offer which could help
you achieve your fitness goals.
To review your fitness programme, book a re-focus session
with an instructor. This will help you to develop your gym
sessions and keep you on track with what you want to
achieve.
Please note
Members should wear a wristband on their wrist on each
visit to the gym. These are issued on arrival.

Crèche (UNDER 5 YEARS)
Crèche for under 5s gives you the chance to take part
in leisure activities, knowing your children are well-cared
for. You can leave your child for up to 2 hours. Booking is
essential and places are limited so we’re afraid any noshows (including Prepaid members) will result in the full
charge being made.
Our Crèche is Ofsted registered. This means that the
Crèche is regulated and inspected to ensure the care of
the children who attend is of an excellent standard.
