The dry-side area offered a forty-three-station gym and an eight-metre by fifteen-metre exercise studio, while the wet-side facilities included a three-lane, twenty-metre heated swimming pool and a separate spa area.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"1050\">Now operated by the YMCA under the name YMCA Poulton, the centre continues to serve as one of the town\u2019s key leisure amenities. It welcomes visitors of all ages and abilities, offering inclusive access through a ramped entrance, adapted changing areas, and pool features such as a hoist and graduated steps to ensure safe entry into the water. The pool provides space for casual swimming, low-impact fitness sessions, and children\u2019s swimming lessons, with a viewing area for parents and spectators overlooking the pool. Light refreshments are available from vending facilities within the building.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1389\">The centre\u2019s operations have evolved with modern technology, enabling users to plan and book sessions through the <strong>YMCA Y:Active<\/strong> mobile app, which provides up-to-date information on timetables, activities, and availability. Alternatively, bookings and enquiries can be made directly with the leisure centre by telephone on 01253 891629.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1611\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">For more than half a century, the Poulton Health and Fitness Centre has remained at the heart of the local community, reflecting the town\u2019s ongoing commitment to health, wellbeing, and accessible sport for all residents.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11953\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.wearedeeperblue.co.uk\/history-clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Poulton-Health-Fitness-Sign-1000.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11955\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.wearedeeperblue.co.uk\/history-clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Poulton-Health-Fitness-Interior-1000.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"551\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11956\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.wearedeeperblue.co.uk\/history-clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Poulton-Health-Fitness-Additional-Sign-1000.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"549\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Poulton Health &amp; Fitness Centre in Poulton-le-Fylde was built in 1974.
