MEMBERS of FitLife can now enjoy free access to leisure facilities in four other local authorities.
Moray Council announced today there will be access to gyms, public swimming pools and fitness classes across the Highlands, Argyll and Bute, Orkney and the Western Isles at no extra cost.
It will also offer access to other public sessions where cardholders can take part in many other activities such as running and indoor climbing.
The Leisure Link Partnership is believed to be the first of its kind in Scotland.
It is set to benefit those who are on holiday or who are working away from home.
Chairwoman of Moray Council’s children and young people’s services committee, Councillor Sonya Warren, said it’s an exciting addition to FitLife memberships.
She added: “We’ve been championing the value for money FitLife membership offers and the Leisure Link Partnership makes it unbeatable value for money. Moray residents will now be able to benefit from the use of dozens of leisure facilities outwith Moray at no extra cost.”
Chairman of Community Leisure UK and High Life Highland chief executive, Ian Murray said: “I am delighted to see the Leisure Link Partnership come to fruition as we have been working on this project for some time with colleagues in Moray, Orkney and Argyll and Bute.
“We are constantly looking for ways to widen the services offered to highlife members and the Leisure Link Partnership is a major step forward enabling them and their family the flexibility to use their cards at one of the partnership sites and, most importantly, at no extra cost.
"We are also pleased to have initiated what we understand to be the first ever multi-area reciprocal card scheme in Scotland.
“And, although the initial participants in the partnership are across the north of Scotland, we are in ongoing discussions with other areas in Scotland as well as in both Northern Ireland and Wales which have also adopted the highlife model across their own culture and leisure services.
"So we are hopeful that the Leisure Link Partnership may soon be available not only in the Highlands and Islands but also further afield.
“Along with the other participating areas, I am delighted to see the Leisure Link Partnership launched and look forward to seeing the scheme develop and grow as other areas see the benefits for their members and look to come on board.”
