Noord Council Opens Summer Group Exercise Classes at Multiple Sites
Noord residents can sign up for structured sessions at multiple city sites with schedules running through the summer months.
How we reported this
Noord City Council facilities opened new group exercise slots on July 1 with 28 classes listed across morning, afternoon and evening times.
Wellness programs in the city draw steady turnout because residents combine work commutes along the waterfront with short fitness blocks that fit between shifts at the port and offices in the Old Harbour district.
The Dockyard Road Sports Hall runs three daily circuit classes and two yoga sessions each week, while the Green Park Pavilion on Elm Street hosts pilates and low-impact aerobics on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.
Venues and current timetables
Both sites belong to the city’s Active Noord program, which also uses the North End Community Hall for senior mobility groups on Monday mornings. Instructors rotate through the three locations so participants can book different formats without leaving council premises. The program lists start times on the city website and posts paper copies at each front desk.
City records show 1,450 people attended council group classes in June, a 19 percent increase from the same month in 2025. Drop-in fees sit at 7 euros for residents and 11 euros for visitors, with a 10-class punch card available for 60 euros at any of the three desks.
Registration steps
Anyone can reserve a place through the online portal at noord.nl/fitness or by visiting the reception at Dockyard Road before 8 p.m. on weekdays. Spaces fill fastest for the 7 a.m. spin classes at the sports hall, so early booking is advised. Staff at each site can answer questions about accessibility and equipment on arrival.
