Cllr Solanki said:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be shortly opening a new facility for women in the heart of Ilford, where they can escape the pressures of modern life by taking part in a range of fitness and wellbeing classes. Serenity Ilford is a safe, supportive, and empowering space for women to exercise, relax, and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe recognise that this is a market we need to tap into, and that\u2019s why we\u2019re providing this space where women can enjoy their leisure time in a safe and calm environment. We look forward to Serenity Ilford opening its doors to members this Autumn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda Perham, Chair of Vision RCL\u2019s Leisure and Parks Committee, added:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cWe are thrilled to announce the launch of Serenity Ilford, which reflects our continued commitment to improving access to inclusive and supportive health and wellbeing facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is a clear and growing demand for female-only fitness spaces, and this initiative not only meets that demand but also empowers women in our community to prioritise their physical and mental wellbeing. We believe this gym will become a valued destination for women across Redbridge who are looking for a space that truly supports their health journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new facility is set to open in the Autumn. Membership will start at just \u00a345 per month, making it an affordable choice for all, with concessionary rates available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Women interested in joining can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvisionrcl.jotform.com%2F251633839193060&amp;data=05%7C02%7CGareth.Greene%40redbridge.gov.uk%7C4b056475ef2b462500ea08ddd9a8dfc0%7C2a8b2c162e9e4dcea97ba0b34e803a22%7C0%7C0%7C638906041518461938%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=tFmozapZ38BmstbsVddkJw29GZnElAv2O51DwcKe35w%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">register their interest here<\/a>&nbsp;to be among the first to sign up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ilford is set to welcome an exciting new addition to its fitness landscape with the launch of Serenity Ilford, a brand-new women-only gym.
