Alfreton Town FC are set to host a free weight management course for men this summer.

The club has teamed up with Chesterfield FC Community Trust to deliver the programme, using facilities at both the Impact Arena and Alfreton Leisure Centre.

It is the second time the clubs have partnered up to deliver the male-specific initiative.

The new 12-week programme will get underway on Monday, June 13, with sessions taking place weekly between 12pm and 2pm.

Wayne Bradley, chairman of Alfreton Town FC, said: “I am delighted to announce that the club is working in partnership with Chesterfield FC Community Trust and Places Leisure, specifically Alfreton Leisure Centre, to help promote healthier lifestyles and weight management across the Amber Valley.

“There is no cost to sign up to the programme and there are some fantastic benefits, such as free gym membership for three months, thanks to our friends at Alfreton Leisure Centre, and free match tickets for Alfreton Town home fixtures.”

Andrea Parkinson, Chesterfield FC Community Trust’s wellbeing manager, added: “Working within Amber Valley will allow us to support more participants. I would like to thank Alfreton Town and Alfreton Leisure Centre for being so accommodating.

“Having already successfully delivered a similar programme in the HUB at the Technique Stadium, I am sure the programme will be a great success.”
