Chilterns Lifestyle Centre on Chiltern Avenue will be considered for Centre of the Year in the southern England region as well as for National Centre of the Year at a ceremony in October.

The awards are designed to celebrate the crème-de-la-crème of the physical activity sector, particularly recognising “excellence and innovation” across the categories of health, wellbeing and fitness.

The Chilterns Lifestyle Centre was picked as a finalist in recognition of its state-of-the-art facilities which include a 15-station gym, two swimming pools, a climbing wall and a spa.

The next steps will be a series of assessments including a digital review and mystery shopper-type inspection.
