Fit Christchurch aims to increase the number of people who engage in regular physical activity, eat healthily and achieve or maintain a healthy body mass. During the launch people will have the opportunity to try their hand at sports such as rowing, tri-golf, trampolining and boxing. They will also be able to have their fitness tested and find out their body mass index. A whole range of sporting and health organisations will be on hand to tell people about the opportunities that exist in Christchurch to get fitter. These include swimming, running, bowls, cycling, rowing, martial arts, as well as healthy food, healthy living and giving up smoking.
Children will be able to have fun with the Christchurch Play Rangers and there will even be a chance for them to get their faces painted. Pure Funk dance group will be performing at 1pm and Christchurch Strollers will be leading a health walk at 2pm. A special quiz will encourage people to visit different stalls to find out all the answers. The lucky winner, who will be picked from the hat, will win a new bicycle from Cycle Experience in Barrack Road. Second prize is six months gold membership of 2Rivermeet Leisure Centre with a third prize of four beginner’s ski lessons at Snowtrax.
