What improvements have recently been made to the facility and services?
We have made significant investments across our fitness, sports and leisure facilities to enhance the experience for all members and customers.

As a HYROX Accredited Centre, the facility now offers dedicated HYROX training equipment alongside an extensive range of strength, conditioning, free weight and cardiovascular equipment.
Additional improvements across the facility include:
- Enhanced fitness class programme, with more classes and instructors.
- Installation of new HYROX training equipment.
- Restoration of the Sports Hall flooring and resurfacing of the sports hall cage.
- Pool wall resurfacing works to improve the swimming environment.
- A full climbing wall route reset quarterly, providing new challenges for climbers.

These improvements form part of our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality facilities, modern equipment and an excellent experience for all users.
