LEISURE centres across the district have reopened today, bosses have confirmed.

Fusion Lifestyle says all four of its sites in Braintree, Witham and Halstead are welcoming the public back following the end of the national lockdown.

Bosses say the centre's will all be complying with tier 2 rules.

Gyms and swimming pools are open, while group exercise, outdoor and indoor sports are all on offer.

All junior activities for under 18’s, and activities for those with disabilities are also available.

Customers planning to visit will be required to book and pay online, minimising contact required at the centre and allowing for the track and trace process to be implemented.

Gym users are asked to arrive ready to work out, and swimmers with their costumes under their clothe.

Fusion says these measures, combined with "meticulous cleaning routines", are designed to keep customers safe.

Anthony Cawley, Director of Operations at Fusion said: "We can’t wait to welcome the community back to enjoy keeping fit and healthy.

"Keeping active has never been more important and we are ready to open our doors.

"We will continue to offer our Fusion at Home service for those unable to get to a centre to everyone can continue to enjoy their regular fitness fixes."
