Exeter Leisure, which is part of Exeter City Council, has launched a number of innovative ways to get people in Exeter fitter than ever before.
The flexible membership option has been launched just in time for the reopening of Riverside Leisure Centre on 24 July, and the brand-new St Sidwell’s Point, which will open to the public later this year.
And the council has embraced technology with the development of a dedicated app and wearable tech, in the form of a wristband which provides access to facilities and allows the user to make payments.
What do you think of when you hear the word 'diet'? Eating the same lunch time salad every day? Grilled chicken with steamed vegetables, packed with nutrients but lacking in flavour? It's true that when you're trying to eat healthily, it's much easier to fall into a bland-food rut, which only serves to make fast food, salty snacks and sweet treats all the more tempting.
But you don't need to cut out flavour to maintain a healthy diet. After all, what's the point in living longer if you can't enjoy your meals? By making a few smart choices and learning a couple of handy kitchen...

Gift-giving can often be one of the most wasteful practices . From an abundance of plastic packaging to novelty items that continue to store dust before meeting their bin shaped demise, it’s safe to say that giving and receiving gifts can actually be rather harmful to the environment around us.
In these strange times, here are some simple ways you can take care of yourself
The past year has been tough for us all, and it’s never been more important to take care of yourself. With that in mind, here are 10 ways to look after your mental and emotional health in these troubling times.

Talking about your feelings is essential for taking stock of your mood and staying in good mental health. It can also help you deal with your emotions better in times of trouble. Whether it’s a family member, a friend or a health professional, find someone you can be honest with....
In every relationship, there will be ups and downs. There will be periods with lots of intimacy, but there will also be periods with distance and separation, especially in long-term relationships. It is completely normal that a relationship can’t feel like a honeymoon for the entire time because it is inevitable to have different phases and ups and downs. In some relationships, the good periods often come naturally after a period with lots of distance, but sometimes it is necessary to put a serious effort into making the relationship work. In order to make the relationship work in the...
The pandemic that took the world by surprise has been the driving force behind several industry changes since early last year. Real estate in London is another area that has endured some adjustments following the lockdown and closure of tourist attractions, and we will examine these changes throughout this article.
As mentioned by recent data seen at www.lawsureinsurance.co.uk/londoners-dream-home/ , most people working in London are hoping to reside closer to their workplace and minimise their commuting time. As remote working has become accepted as the norm in most businesses,...
2020 arrived and just like that, remote work went from “nice to have” to “the way we work.” HR, in particular, was turned on its head. Things like upholding cultural standards, watching out for burnout, sourcing for recruits, candidate evaluation — all are complicated by the lack of physical presence. Fully remote companies like DistantJob found themselves in the position to offer mentorship and advice to many businesses trying to cope with the new reality of finding and assessing remote candidates in a post-COVID world.

Attomarker, a spin-out company from the University of Exeter, has launched its new COVID-19 seven-minute Triple Antibody test to the general public at Holmedale Health in the city.

The launch in its home city follows positive results from an initial patient study at St. Thomas' Hospital, London. It delivers laboratory quality, quantitative results in seven minutes, with a 95% sensitivity and 96% specificity, providing...
Firefighter Tom Taylor has been chosen to help promote Public Service Day on Wednesday 23 June – after raising thousands of pounds for the NHS through his Frontline Coffee charity.
The day, officially launched by the United Nations as long ago as 2003, has barely been recognised in the UK until two years ago, when public sector and civil service membership club Boundless took up the cause.
Now it is gaining increasing recognition, with Tom’s story at the forefront of the campaign.
The firefighter who works for Somerset & Devon Fire & Rescue Service,...
The Motability Scheme looks to increase awareness in the county as it pilots its first ever national campaign

In response to this, the Motability Scheme has launched its first ever national television advert alongside a print, digital and PR campaign. This ‘Everyday Freedom’ campaign aims to...
