ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Activities

Our Fitness Suite was based in the former swimming pool at Cymer Afan Comprehensive school which we shared usage with the school. However due to the recent school closure, we had no option other than to re-locate the fitness suite to Cymer Sports hall. We have recently signed a 25 year lease with NPTCBC so we can continue to deliver recreational and physical activities, plus improve the health and well- being of the people of the Afan Valley in a fit for purpose building

We have divided the sports hall in two halves; where one half is a fitness suite and the other half is used for groups to hire. This has now changed to approximately two thirds – one third due to increase in equipment.

Our main objective is to enhance the quality of life by providing all with opportunity to improve their physical wellbeing which in turn improves the overall mental and emotional wellbeing, which can have a detrimental impact to ones quality of life.

Unfortunately in March of 2020 we were mandated to close in line with Government Covid 19 rulings. We opened back up with limited use in August of 2020 but were once again forced into closure in December of 2020. We opened the Fitness Suite back up in accordance with Government Covid guidelines in May of 2021. Due to the increased procedures, we had to ensure that the Fitness Suite was operated by volunteers at all times. This led to us advertising and ultimately securing a person for the post of Fitness Suite Supervisor in November of 2021.

Our membership has expanded over the past year and continues to do so.
