A new fitness workout is being launched in County Durham leisure centres – and people are being offered the chance to try it out for free.

Metafit training is an intense workout which uses a person’s own bodyweight instead of gym equipment.

Sessions are due to start in Durham County Council’s leisure centres programmed to fit in with people’s busy lives, including early morning, lunchtime and evening sessions.

Participating leisure centres include Newton Aycliffe. Further information can be found at www.durham.gov.uk/fitness
