COUCH potatoes across Dudley can take advantage of the World Cup coverage by getting themselves into shape at the same time.

Health conscious Dudley Council have come up with a scheme to entice TV addicts off the sofa and capitalise on some cut price offers at their local leisure centres.

The offer takes place throughout the duration of the World Cup – which is running until July 15 – when discounted membership at Crystal, Dudley and Halesowen leisure centres are up for grabs.

Anyone snapping up the offer can enjoy unlimited use of the swimming pools, lifestyle gyms, fitness classes, plus off peak use of the badminton and squash courts for £20.18 a month.

There's even a free gym induction thrown in which usually costs £20.

The offer is only open to new customers. For terms and conditions contact 01384 812800 or visit www.dudley.gov.uk/sport.
