Ian Shorley-Harlow, health improvement manager, explained: “These health checks are a simple way to check a person’s overall health.

“We frequently invite people to take part in these public health checks and have in the past helped people to identify dangerously high blood pressure readings.

“Everyone is welcome, you don’t have to be an existing leisure member to pop along for a friendly chat.”
