Facility Refurbishment 2018

Better Llanishen Leisure Centre is pleased to announce that it is now equipped with Shapemaster toning tables and chairs. Unlike conventional exercise equipment, Shapemaster’s range of exercise equipment does not rely exclusively on muscle power but by an electronic power system enabling you to work passively or actively, depending on your ability. The equipment is perfect for those wanting to:

• Loose weight
• Get in shape
• Improve mobility
• Tone up
• Improve strength

As you do not have to provide the motion force, you do not have to overcome inertia in order to use the equipment making it the perfect choice for anyone coming back to exercise after periods of rest or inactivity. This includes the elderly or those with mobility issues.

If you feel intimidated or uncomfortable in a traditional gym environment, the 12 pieces of toning equipment are located away from the main gym so perfect for you to relax and go at your own pace.

The 12 pieces of toning equipment available are Bums and Tums, Fly and Thighs, Hipster, Posture Pullover, Tummy Crunch, Waist Away, Ab Pullover, Chest and Legs, Cross Cycle, Seated Climber, Side Bend Stepper, Tricep Dip and Leg Curl.

The equipment can also be used to manage and rehabilitate those living with conditions such as MS, Fibromyalgia and post stroke.

Pop into the centre to take a look around and discuss the fantastic membership options available.

Over the coming months our changing rooms will be transformed into separate wet and dry changing spaces.

Therefore, whilst we undertake the refurbishment, there will be some minor disruptions that you need to be aware of from 25^th September – 4^th December.

Closure of Female Changing Rooms Monday 25th September

The female changing rooms will be closed for 1 day on Monday 25th September for building work to be carried out.  Female customers will be required to use the male changing rooms for the day, while male customers will be required to use the outdoor changing rooms for the day.  Please note that there are no lockers in the outdoor changing rooms, so space will be provided for bags in the gym, at poolside and in the main hall.

Male Showers, Changing Rooms, Toilets and Pool Access

The current male changing rooms will be closed from MTuesday 26th September while the first phase of the refurbishment takes place. Temporary male shower and changing facilities will be available in a divided section of the current female changing areas and will be fully screened off. Male customers will be required to use the toilets opposite reception and access to the swimming pool will be via the first aid room.

Female Changing Room and Showers

The space in the female dry side changing rooms will be reduced to allow temporary use of dedicated showers and changing cubicles to male customers. Privacy screens will be in use to provide total seclusion. Female toilets and swimming pool access will remain unchanged.

Signage will be in place in the relevant areas to direct you appropriately. We will look to keep disruption to a minimum during the work and promise it will be worth the wait. Dates are subject to change, so please check back here for progress and updates, or ask a member of staff on your next visit.

Additional Future Works

Once phase one has been completed, separate male and female changing facilities will be open and available to use. Phase two will see the current female changing rooms undergoing refurbishment in early December 2017 and see the space transformed into new male and female dry only changing rooms.

The gym has seen good progress made this week.

The new floor has been laid in the gym and looks great!

Keep checking back here for further updates.

We can't wait to see our new group cycle studio move to the 1st floor of the centre.
