Whitwick and Coalville Leisure Centre has been shortlisted in the Newcomer of the Year category of the competition, having opened its doors to the public in February.
This category focuses on quality of equipment and services, retention figures and branding and marketing strategies.
Meanwhile, Enderby Leisure and Golf Centre, has been shortlisted in the Midlands and Wales Gym of the Year category.
This category covers equipment quality, the size of the facilities, marketing, customer service, retention and innovation.
Should either centre be successful, they will also be considered for the National Gym of the Year Award.
The awards celebrate the very best of the physical activity sector and provide one of the biggest nights of the year for the fitness industry.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony on Friday, November 18 at Athena in Leicester. The event will be hosted by Diane Youdale, better known as Jet from Gladiators.
The two leisure centres are run by Everyone Active.
