Red carpet for Fitness Suite refurbishment

1 05 2012

The Sports Club’s Fitness Suite has undergone a significant refurbishment over April. New equipment is now in place with older equipment removed, the carpeting replaced and the walls repainted.

The club has invested in five newly refurbished Life Fitness machines for the gym. The three single station strength machines are part of the very popular Signature range. These machines have been designed with the user in mind and are used throughout Britain by the largest gyms. Added to this are two cardio machines which are completely powered by human movement and come packed with the latest technology to help the users perform to their maximum.

Have a look and more importantly make use of the improved facilities at the club.
