Merton Abbey residents are invited to kickstart their summer health regime with a free health MOT.

Nuffield Health Merton Abbey Fitness & Wellbeing Club is opening its doors on June 24, when experts will be on hand to assess guest's health.

The free "mini health MOT" on offer at the club in Chapter Way will measure blood pressure, BMI and hip to waist ratio to advise on how to maintain or improve fitness.

Guests can also take a tour, try out the equipment in the gym and take a trial group exercise class. If that seems too energetic, they can take a dip in the pool and visit the club's sauna.

Prizes and Nuffield branded giveaways will also be up for grabs throughout the day.
