Deben Leisure Centre for staying active

The Deben Leisure Centre is a superb gymming and swimming facility in Woodbridge and available for our guests to use whilst they are staying aboard our barges (or barns)

The Deben Leisure Centre is a short walk from Twee Gebroeders in Woodbridge and only a 20 minute drive from Onderneming so if you’d like to keep your gym or swim routine up during your stay then this is the place for you as you can ‘pay and play’.

It’s an excellent facility in what was the old local authority swimming pool building. It’s had a £3.5m facelift and the is open for business for day visitors and members alike. It’s now part of the ‘Places Leisure’ group with a presence all over the country but as far as we are concerned, they have an excellent facility here for us to tap into.

So many people like to maintain their usual fitness routine whilst away on holiday. We don’t have gyms aboard our barges but we do have the next best thing, The Deben Leisure Centre.

The gym is well equipped with all brand new equipment in June 2018; a great range of cardio, free weights and resistance machines. There’s also the usual TVs with subtitles on the walls, as well as built into the cardio equipment; basically everything you could want.

The pool is usually split into three lanes in the morning when I go; slow, medium and fast lanes so just pick whichever one you’re able to enjoy. After a session in the gym my arms won’t let me get in the fast lane!

The Deben leisure centre is open from 6am until 10pm during the week and from 7am until 8pm at the weekend so there’s really no excuse for the keen staycationer!

Anyone can use the pool for £4.75 per visit and the gym for £10.20 per visit.

To conclude then, the Deben Leisure Centre in Woodbridge is a fantastic destination for those looking to stay active while enjoying Suffolk’s charm. With its modern facilities, including the Deben swimming pool and a state-of-the-art Woodbridge gym, it caters to a variety of fitness needs. Visitors to the Woodbridge Leisure Centre can enjoy a range of activities, from invigorating gym sessions to refreshing swims during the public swimming times available throughout the week.

For those focused on swimming, the Deben pool offers a welcoming environment for all ages and abilities. Whether it’s a casual swim session or more structured Deben swimming lessons, the centre ensures that everyone can take advantage of its excellent swimming pools. Fitness enthusiasts will also appreciate the option of personal training and the opportunity for unlimited access to the gym and pool facilities, making it easy to stay on track with your goals.

Located near the Woodfarm Business Centre, the Deben Leisure Centre combines convenience with exceptional service, creating a hub for both locals and visitors to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Whether you’re exploring the area or just looking for a way to keep active, this leisure centre stands out as a top choice in Woodbridge.
