Changes to Active North Yorkshire coming soon

This summer, we are introducing a number of changes across Active North Yorkshire to create a simpler, clearer and more consistent experience across all sites. These include simplifying our membership options, moving to a new, single booking system and updating the names of our swim sessions and group exercise classes so they are easier to understand when booking.

Read answers to frequently asked questions about what these changes mean for you, including timelines, new options and how your current membership may be affected.
