Summer doesn't have to mean a break from your routine. Your highlife membership travels with you.
Summer is brilliant — but it has a way of pulling you in six directions at once. Holidays, days out, the kids off school, the rare appearance of actual sunshine. Fitness can easily take a back seat when everything else is competing for your time and energy. The good news is that a highlife membership is made for exactly this kind of season — and one benefit in particular is worth knowing about before you head off anywhere in Scotland this summer.
Take your membership on holiday with you
Picture this: you're spending a week in Orkney, or visiting family down in the Borders, and you've been quietly dreading falling off your routine. With Leisure Link, you don't have to. highlife members can use gym, swimming and fitness class facilities at partner leisure centres across Scotland at no extra cost — just turn up with your membership card and get on with it.
It's designed for members who are away from home, so it's perfect for holidays and work trips. Before your next trip away, check the full map of participating facilities at leisurelink.org — you might be pleasantly surprised how close a partner centre is to wherever you're headed.
The value adds up
Drop-in gym and swim sessions add up fast when you're paying each time. Use Leisure Link even once or twice on a trip away and you've already got great value from your membership that month — on top of everything you get at home. It's the kind of perk that makes you feel quietly smug when you find a gym in a town you're only visiting for a few days.
It keeps September from feeling like starting over
When you take a full break from exercise, getting back into it feels so much harder than it did before you stopped. The first week back after a long gap is never fun.
Keeping even a loose routine going over summer — a couple of sessions during the week, a swim on holiday — means you arrive at September with your fitness where you left it. The habit is still there. The progress you built in spring hasn't slipped away. That's a really good feeling.
Summer exercise often looks a bit different, and that's fine. More walking, a dip in the pool, lighter sessions — whatever works for the season. highlife membership is there to support you however you want to use it.
Try something new while you're at it
Schedules are a little looser in summer, and that can be a good thing. If there's a class you've been meaning to try or a part of the facility you never usually get to, now's the time. A highlife membership gives you access to swimming, fitness classes, gym and more across our leisure centres. Sometimes a small change is all it takes to make exercise feel like something you want to do rather than something you have to.
Make the most of it this summer
Check the Leisure Link map before your next trip away and see what's available near you. And if you're not yet a highlife member, there's really no better time to start — summer included.
