About Us

Mission Statement:

Longridge Community Gym is a welcoming community where people enjoy training, support each other and build healthier lives through consistency, confidence and connection. We provide an inclusive space where people of all ages and abilities can enjoy a workout, connect with members of the community and improve their mental and physical health. 

Our Origins:

Our roots go back to Longridge Social Enterprise Company (LSEC), a not-for-profit organisation established on 8 March 2004 to serve the Longridge community. In June 2005, LSEC was granted a 60-year lease of Longridge Civic Hall, ensuring the building remained a valuable community asset.

In April 2026, Longridge Community Gym became a separate business from Longridge Civic Hall and was established as its own Community Interest Company (CIC). This allows us to focus entirely on providing affordable, high-quality fitness facilities and activities that benefit all members of our local community. 

Who we are:

We are a training facility based in Longridge Preston with a drive and passion to guide and support clients in their desire to exercise. We strive to help clients achieve their goals and lead a healthy lifestyle.
