MAKE sure you’re ready to kick start next year with a fitness resolution you can keep!
From January 2010, staying fit couldn’t be easier as Doncaster Council offer free inductions to leisure centre fitness suites.
Residents can also take advantage of half price golf at Crookhill Golf Course from January to March 2010.
