Project OverviewEncouraging Greets Green residents to participate in physical activity through the development of local exercise, sports and activity sessions or groups. The project aims to meet the specific needs of young people, older people, BME groups and community groups. Active Lifestyles No one can say you can not get fit and active in West Bromwich! Greets Green in particular has so much to offer in the way of sport, activity and exercise. There is no excuse! With the Active Lifestyles Coordinator now in post the provision will become even greater and the Greets Green community will be fighting fit!!
We start with the hugely popular YMCA fitness facility by the clock tower. Activities ranges from a gentle extend class for the older community to the motivating newly refurnished weights and cardiovascular gym. George Salter Collegiate Academy is our next stop on this fitness tour! Boasting a brand new astro turf and a huge sports hall every sport is catered for. The PE teachers run an extensive extra curriculum timetable for sports and activities for pupils and with new government standards schools are now being open to members of the community till 8pm!!! The school even opens on a weekend and during the holidays to offer children sport and physical activity.  Fancy a walk? Anyone can go for a walk but if you need that extra little bit of motivation or even just more social interaction West Bromwich hosts organised walks with qualified walk leaders to keep you in check as you stride out for better fitness. Venues included the library and YMCA.
Many of the community centres including the Yemeni association, Guru Nanak, Lodge road and Wood Lane community centre house a variety of activities. You can box your way to fitness, dance your evenings away or if you prefer the more relaxed approach to keeping in trim then yoga may be your cup of tea.
Whether you are young or old, male or female, Greets Green caters for all the community. If you would like more information about sport, exercise or activity in your area then please call Nathan Moore. Get fit, stay fit and get fitter!!!!
