Membership fees at Mid Devon’s thriving leisure centres will remain the same for another year.

While already competitively priced it will mean an all-inclusive membership to use any of Active Mid Devon’s three sites will remain at £41 a month, with no annual contract, while the popular gym and swim membership remains £35 a month.

Pay As You Go prices are set to rise by an average of 3%, while the Council’s commitment to reduced fees for care leavers, unpaid carers and concessionary rates will all remain stable.

Councillor Josh Wright, Cabinet Member for Service Delivery and Continuous Improvement, said:

“Freezing membership prices for the year ahead reinforces our commitment to keeping leisure affordable and accessible for everyone in our community. At a time when many living costs keep rising, holding our prices steady ensures that local people can continue to benefit from our high-quality facilities, fitness opportunities and wellbeing support. This council recognises the importance of healthy communities and we want to continue to encourage and support access to wellbeing and fitness for everyone in Mid Devon.”

Since its launch in March 2025, Active Mid Devon has seen its membership grow to its highest ever numbers, as well as introduced incentives for families, students and carers to get active.

Despite reducing operating costs by more than half a million pounds, the centres have also seen big improvements with new poolside changing facilities and lockers at both Active Tiverton and Active Crediton, improved fitness studios and gyms, and the installation of energy efficiency measures at all three sites. Members have also benefitted from the launch of a new app, allowing access to bookings and information 24/7, as well as a new online booking system and swimming lesson tracker.

From the outset Active Mid Devon aimed to provide more than just leisure facilities, and it continues to support the community through its GP referral scheme, cardiac rehab programme, and Health Seekers initiatives.
