Choose Your Move: Why This Bank Holiday Is the Perfect Time to Secure Your Gym Membership
The August Bank Holiday is almost here. If you have been thinking about joining a gym, now could be a great time to get started.
At Welcome Gym, we know that everyone has different goals. Some people want to get fitter. Others want to build strength, get back into a routine or simply move more.
That is why our August Bank Holiday offers give you three ways to get started.
Whether you want flexibility, a short-term boost or great value for the year, there is a gym membership to suit you.
Choose the Right Gym Membership for You
Finding the right gym membership should feel simple. It should fit your goals, your routine and your life.
If you want more freedom, our Flexible Monthly membership could be a good fit. There is no minimum term, so you have more flexibility if your plans change. Plus, you can save on all joining fees during our August offer.
Looking for something shorter term? You can also choose our three-month membership. With this offer, you get three months for the price of two.
This could work well if you have a specific fitness goal. It is also a handy option if you are only in the area for a short time.
Alternatively, you might be ready to commit for longer. Our Peak Annual membership could be the right choice.
During the August Bank Holiday offer period, you can save 15% on the normal price of a Peak Annual membership.
So, whether you want to keep things flexible or make a longer-term commitment, you can choose the gym membership that works for you.
Make the Most of the August Bank Holiday
The August Bank Holiday falls on Monday 31 August 2026. For many people, the long weekend is a chance to relax, catch up with friends and enjoy some extra time off.
It can also be a good chance to focus on your fitness.
After all, you do not need to wait until September to start. Use the extra time to visit your local Welcome Gym and get moving.
You could try a new workout. Or, why not join a group fitness class and meet some of the people at your club?
Better still, our August offers give new and previous members more ways to join.
Three Ways to Choose Your Move
From 24 to 31 August 2026, Welcome Gym is offering three options for new and previous members.
- No Joining Fee on a Flexible Monthly membership. There is no minimum term, so you have more freedom if your plans change.
- 3 Months for the Price of 2 on a selected three-month membership. This could be a great option if you have a specific fitness goal or are only in the area for a short period.
- 15% OFF a Peak Annual Membership. If you want to stay active for the next 12 months, this is our best-value option.
That means you can choose the option that suits your goals and how long you want to commit.
What's more, the offers are automatically applied at checkout. There is no discount code to remember.
However, all offers end on 31 August 2026. Make sure you choose your move before then.
Get Back Into Your Fitness Routine
Summer can make it harder to stick to your usual routine. Holidays, days out and busy weekends can all get in the way.
The good news is that the Bank Holiday gives you another chance to get moving.
If you have had some time away from the gym, you do not need to go all out on your first session. Start at a comfortable pace and build from there.
In fact, those small steps can make it easier to get back into a regular routine.
You could start with a short workout, try some familiar exercises or join a class.

Make Your Workouts More Social
You do not have to work out alone. Instead, try a group fitness class and meet other people at your gym.
For example, booking a class gives you a set time to exercise. It can also make it easier to stay accountable.
Plus, classes are a great way to add variety to your routine. You can try different workouts, meet other members and find something you enjoy.
You might even find a new favourite class.

Get More From Your Gym Membership
Choosing your gym membership is only the beginning. Once you join, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your time at Welcome Gym.
For example, try different equipment and change up your workouts. You can also take a look at the classes available at your club.
Your routine can change as your goals change, too.
You might start with shorter workouts. Later, you could try strength training or a new class.
Most importantly, choose activities that you enjoy. When you enjoy your workouts, staying active can feel much easier.
Find Your Local Welcome Gym
