TWO leisure centres are hoping to attract hundreds of people to work out for charity.
Belle Vue Leisure Centre, in Consett, and the Louisa Centre, in Stanley, are taking part in a nationwide workout on Friday, November 19, at 8.30pm.
The event has been organised by the Myasthenia Gravis Association.
The charity supports victims of an auto-immune disease also known as the Rag Doll Illness, which is characterised by fluctuating muscle weakness, which can sometimes be fatal.
All proceeds will be split equally between the association and the BBC Children in Need Appeal.
The low-impact workout will be suitable for most ages and abilities. Each group will be led by a fitness instructor
Participants are encouraged to raise sponsorship.
