VOLUNTEERING at a boot camp, coaching football and rugby teams, daily trips to the gym, walking the dog, taking his daughter to the park and pilates may sound like an exhausting, lung-bursting amount of exercise. 
But Latchford man Phill Leonard's weekly routine makes him one of the many people in the town who have helped push Warrington from 10th to the second most active town in the north west. 
The 25-year-old says his more active lifestyle led to him losing eight stone in weight and believes a change in the town's sporty habits has been influenced by the Olympics and a surge in Warrington Wolves' form in recent years. 
The dad-of-one to Cara, aged four, added: "I really enjoy everything I do so I never feel like I'm working or want to just sit on the couch. 
"In fact I realised last Thursday when I was watching the match it was the first time I had been sat in front of the TV since the previous week when I was watching the rugby. 
"Seeing the progression of the 14-year-olds I coach at Rylands keeps me motivated and my nephew Declan recently got a scholarship with Wolves after training with me which was awesome."
Phill was limited in terms of physical activity in his early teens after being diagnosed with a heart condition but an operation aged 18 to fix the problem led to him taking on more challenges over the last seven years. 
He is one of the 40.9 per cent of adults in Warrington found by national survey Active People to be taking part in sport and physical activity at least once a week. 
The volunteer at Sweat boot camp in Widnes, who is now working towards becoming a personal trainer, added: "I love training and the feeling of accomplishment and the more I have got into it the more people around me have too. 
"It doesn't have to be throwing big weights around, most people will benefit from a 20 minute walk. 
"I think in Warrington there has been a gym popping up on every corner in the last two or three years, kids have been keen to pick up rugby after Warrington have been doing well and the Olympics have just inspired people." 
Clr Kate Hannon, Warrington Borough Council’s executive board member for leisure, community and culture, said: “We’re really pleased with this success and it’s fantastic to see that more people are getting active. 
"We want to keep this up now and will continue to work with LiveWire and other partners to keep Warrington moving in the right direction."
