The Corporate Livewire South West England Prestige Awards 2020/21 recognise small and medium-sized businesses that have proven to be the best in their market over the past 12 months.

Business development team leader at Two Riversmeet, Dan Stone, commented:

“I am incredibly proud of all the staff at Two Riversmeet who have adapted to all the changes that lockdown brought. Our fitness team were able to offer an online class provision which not only kept our members engaged and active, but also the wider community. Exercise is known to relieve tension and stress as well as boost physical and mental health which has never been more important than during these times.”

During the pandemic, the centre offered more than 800 online fitness classes, delivered by its team, with over 150,000 views to date. Classes included High Intensity Interval Training, Pilates, gym specific sessions and body conditioning.

The centre also used the lockdown periods to positively develop, improve and refurbish all areas of the leisure facility resulting in an improved customer experience. Covid-19 safety measures were implemented to allow for its safe reopening last summer.

Dan said: “We work hard on BCP council’s fulfilled lives pledge to promote happy, active and healthy lifestyles and it is wonderful to be able to share this award with our staff and customers.

“It was great to open our outdoor football pitches last week and we are excited to reopen the indoor facilities from Monday 12 April. We encourage people to come and see our fully refurbished facilities, most noticeably our fitness suite with amazing discounts of up to 35% off available for new members.”
