All sessions are free or low-cost and Invigorate members might be eligible for concessionary pricing. Friends, family members or support workers can join the sessions too – they must pay the same as you do, if there is a charge.
Some sessions are cheaper if you have a Better pay as you go card. The card costs £15.50, or £6 if you qualify for a concessionary card. You can buy a card at the Abbey Leisure Complex, Cherry Hinton Village Centre or Parkside Pools, or register for a Better account online.
You might be eligible to receive a free card if you have been referred for Invigorate membership by a health professional. For more information, read joining the Invigorate programme.
