WOMEN are being invited to sample exercise sessions at a health club's opening event.

To celebrate its launch on Sunday, the new Healthlands branch in Finchale Road, Framwellgate Moor, is offering free exercise taster sessions for all fitness levels.

Professionals will also be available for advice and one-to-one consultations, and there will be free drinks and nibbles for visitors.

For women looking to lose weight, there will be a presentation introducing Intashape, a new in-house concept in slimming that guarantees results within four weeks.

Angela Parkinson, director of Healthlands, said: "The open day is a celebration of Healthlands' grand opening of its tenth club."
