"Tredegar sports centre has been brilliant in supporting my fitness journey. The supportive staff continue to go above and beyond, always ready to accommodate my needs whilst offering ongoing support and encouragement. I believe their personalised approach has made a significant difference in facilitating my fitness improvement, helping me to stay motivated and committed to my goals.

"Staff are knowledgeable, informative, and always sharing information for the next challenge. Due to staff at the centre and the opportunities provided, my first aquathlon has since been followed by my first mini triathlon. Despite some of my personal doubts, staff were brilliant in providing encouragement and reassurance and always available to answer questions I had along the way. 

"If you're looking for a welcoming, accommodating and supportive environment to enhance your fitness and well-being, I can't recommend Tredegar sports centre highly enough."

“It was very well organised with great support and encouragement from everyone throughout the morning.

“It was fantastic to have such an event close to home which attracted not only seasoned athletes but those just starting out or looking to challenge themselves. Hopefully this was the first of many such events and will look forward to attending again. Congratulations on such a successful event!”

Alfie has been a member of Ebbw Vale Sports Centre for many years. His fitness journey, though, was not an easy one; it wasn’t as simple as popping on a pair of trainers and hitting the treadmill.  Alfie’s story is one of true grit and determination. We think Alfie’s story is so inspirational that we asked him if we could share it with you, to show you just how impactful fitness can be, and how, if you make that start, it could change your life forever!

Alfie worked as a long-distance lorry driver; days spent on the road led to unhealthy fast-food options, with little exercise. Although Alfie played Rugby, he admits he wasn’t as fit and healthy as he would have liked to have been.

“The event was superbly well organised and from my position as a participant worked flawlessly due to the commitment and enthusiasm of staff and volunteers. Everybody was exceptionally friendly and welcoming which made the event so enjoyable and we were blessed with perfect weather even if it was a little chilly at 8 am when I began the run component. I look forward to the next triathlon and those three Frosty Tredegar Aquathlon s next year.

“Thank you and everybody involved for making it a day to remember!”
