Aerobathon 2026

Our highly anticipated annual Aerobathon is back Saturday 10th October, 10am-3pm! Whether you are a seasoned fitness enthusiast or just looking for a fun, energetic way to get active with friends, this event is built for you.

Aerobathon participants will spend the day moving for a meaningful cause! Every step, jump, and stretch during the Aerobathon helps us raise crucial funds for our Cancer & Exercise Rehabilitation programme. This vital initiative provides physical and emotional support to individuals navigating cancer recovery, helping them regain their strength, mobility, and confidence in a safe and welcoming environment.

Tickets are officially on sale and can be purchased online, or directly from the Gym desk and Reception.

• Standard Ticket: £6.50
• Ticket + Event T-Shirt/Vest: £16.50

Grab your friends, lace up your trainers, and let’s make a massive impact together!

Expect five hours of high energy, fantastic music, and incredible camaraderie! You can challenge yourself to keep moving for the whole event, or simply drop in and take it at your own pace. Throughout the day there will be refreshment breaks (drinks and snacks provided), with raffles and tombolas too!

The best part? Absolutely everyone is welcome. Because this is a special community fundraising event, it is completely open to both YMCA members and the general public. Bring your family, invite your colleagues, and let’s pack the Main Hall!

If the Aerobathon doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, please consider supporting our Aerobathon champions by donating to our Just Giving page. Whether you are sponsoring a friend, a family member, or just want to support the cause, your generosity matters. Together, every step, stretch, and heartbeat helps someone rebuild their life after cancer.

Navigating a cancer diagnosis and the gruelling treatments that follow takes a massive physical and emotional toll. Our specialised rehabilitation programme is designed to help individuals in our local community reclaim their lives and their bodies.

By donating to this campaign or sponsoring one of our amazing Aerobathon participants, your money will go directly towards:

• Specialist Guidance: Funding highly trained fitness professionals who understand the unique physical limitations and needs of cancer patients in recovery.
• Safe, Welcoming Spaces: Ensuring survivors have a supportive, non-judgmental, and community-driven environment to rebuild their confidence.
• Physical Recovery: Helping individuals safely regain their strength, mobility, and overall well-being after enduring intense medical treatments.

Every single donation, no matter the size, fuels this essential programme and ensures it remains accessible to those on their road to recovery.
