New workout area
We have converted the TV lounge on the ground floor into another workout area with kettlebells, dumbbells, core bags, slam balls and stretch mats.
This has proved to be extremely popular with Members so far and is a great additional space for the gym team to conduct the 20 minute workout classes in.

New resistance & cardio equipment
We have now replaced all of the older equipment on the ground floor gym with new equipment plus three extra cardio bikes including another recumbent and two specialised cycles for those wishing to simulate professional cycling.

Car Park and Pedestrian Safety
For Pedestrian safety we have installed a 5 mph speed bump in the drive way.
We have also put up additional signage to prevent cars from driving directly to the Studios and from exiting from the car park entrance rather than following the one way system.
In preparation for winter, the lower part of the overflow car park will have gravel put down, making it easier for members to park.
