On the podium! ๐
Earlier this summer, Belong villages had a ball taking part in an international virtual bike ride, clocking up as many miles as they could from the comfort of the in-house gym. ๐ดโโ๏ธ
For those not in know, our customers travel the world with special bikes linked with screens showing a destination of their choice and the more they pedal, the more they see! (The bikes can even accommodate wheelchair users, so nobody missed out.)
Belong Warrington took silver and we are thrilled for Belong Wigan and Belong Newcastle-under-Lyme for rounding off the UK top 3.
๐ More detail, below. And find out more about our specialist exercise service available at our village, in the comments.

Last month, awards were presented to the winning venues of the 2026 Tour SilverFit Mile in the United Kingdom during a little celebration together with residents and participants. ๐๐ด
What makes this Tour extra special are the wonderful stories we hear along the way. One resident told us that she cycles the route through Paris three times a day for twenty minutes each time. Her father spoke French and she used to visit family in Paris regularly. Cycling brings those lovely memories flooding back. The Eiffel Tower, in particular, brings back memories. She said with a laugh: โBack when I used to go there, there wasnโt a queue at the Eiffel Tower at all. These days, thereโs a whole queue of people waiting to use the SilverFit Mile!โ
The SilverFittest participant in the Tour SilverFit Mile UK was no less than 103 years old. What a great achievement! ๐
Congratulations once again to all the winners, and a huge well done to all the participants who made this edition such an active, enjoyable and inspiring event. Weโre already looking forward to next year!
