Strong Parents, Strong Futures
A Supportive Fitness Programme for Parents
In conjunction with North Ayrshire Council’s “Your Next Move” programme, The Sports Hub are running “Fresh Start Fitness” for parents.
This free 4-week fitness programme is designed specifically for unemployed parents who want to rebuild their strength, confidence and daily routines in a supportive, welcoming environment.
Whether you’re returning to exercise after a long break or starting from scratch, this programme is about taking things at your own pace — with guidance, encouragement and structure every step of the way.
You’ll have full access to the gym, expert coaching, and a wide range of classes, all focused on helping you feel stronger, healthier and more confident — both physically and mentally.
What You Can Expect
Your journey begins with a friendly welcome visit to the gym, where you’ll meet the coaching team, take a relaxed tour of the facilities, and get comfortable with what’s available to you. No pressure, no judgement — just support from day one.
Throughout the four weeks, you’ll receive four one-to-one coaching sessions, one each week, giving you personalised guidance tailored to your goals, ability level and lifestyle. Alongside this, you’ll be given a personalised training plan you can follow independently, helping you build healthy habits that fit around family life.
You’ll also have access to up to 25 group classes each week, including options such as Yoga, Hyrox-style training and Circuits. These classes are welcoming, inclusive, and suitable for all fitness levels — perfect for trying different styles of exercise and finding what you enjoy most.
At the end of the programme, you’ll have a progress check-in session with a coach to reflect on how far you’ve come, talk through next steps, and celebrate your achievements. You’ll also receive a free Ardrossan Gym T-shirt as a reminder of what you’ve accomplished.
Invite a friend
We find that when you workout, or make a commitment alongside a friend, you’re much more likely to stick to it. We’re encouraging you to invite a friend – send them a text, slide in to their DM’s and ask them to come along. If they’re in the same position as you that’s great – or maybe they’re already a member and they’re also looking for a workout and accountability buddy. Either way, you’re all welcome.
What Happens After the 4 Weeks?
To help you keep the momentum going, everyone who completes the programme will receive a free 3-month gym membership, giving continued access to gym facilities and classes at no cost. This means you can continue building confidence, staying active, and maintaining the routines you’ve worked so hard to create.
