We know that regular exercise is important for our physical, mental and emotional health, yet Newham remains one of the country’s least physically active boroughs. So BDCA is committed to providing a wide range of sports and fitness activities to help people of all ages get moving!
Our aim is to make it easy to get fit, have fun and meet new friends through a range of FREE or low cost sports and fitness activities – no expensive gym memberships required!
Please see our timetable for details of all our current activities and how to get involved. We hope to see you soon!
All ages welcome
We offer an extensive sports and fitness programme for all ages, covering everything from Pilates to Dancing and Football to Darts.
We’re also proud of our range of women-only activities that includes Aerobics, Bhangra Fitness and Zumba.
We have a dedicated programme of popular activities for people aged 65+ too, often including Tai Chi, chair-based exercise, bowls, darts and music & movement sessions.
Our several regular football sessions include Walking Football for the over 40s and an evening session for men.
Our extensive youth programme also includes indoor and outdoor sports for ages 9-19 and you can view our current programme here.
