- Upgraded cardio and resistance equipment
- 18 stations of new Technogym gym equipment
- New functional equipment
- Improved layout·
- Decoration throughout giving a brighter, fresher feel
- New lighting
- Refurbished changing rooms
- Upgrade of the studio including refurbished flooring and redecoration
- New flooring
- Upgraded audio visual provision
- New, dedicated Women Only sessions
To ensure you can still get the most from your membership while we carry out these works, you will be able to enjoy access to any of our centres across Manchester. We are pleased to let you know that to make things easier we have automatically applied this upgrade to your membership, so you don't have to do anything.
The activities included will be the same as they are now. Unfortunately as Manchester is in Tier 3, we’re temporarily unable to offer fitness classes at any of our centres. The good news is that when we are able to restart classes you’ll be able to enjoy them in the refurbished studio.
This latest investment is the next phase from our previous investment at Whalley Range Sports Centre that took place earlier this year. During phase 1 of our investment, we completed a £250,000 full refurbishment of the centres existing Reception, Bar and Outdoor 3G Football pitches (8 x5 a side pitches and 1 x7 a side pitch). All of our pitches now have new 3G turf, goal nets, boards and LED lights. The pitches are also suitable for play in all weather so we are the perfect venue for training sessions and matches when the weather is bad. In our refurbished bar you will find an upgraded audio visual provision, new lighting & flooring and a fresh new design.
In addition to our £400,000 investment, we now have brand new dedicated women’s only gym sessions each week! Kick start your fitness regime in our gym where you can hit the cardio kit and resistance machines in comfort. Our women's only gym sessions allow you to exercise in a welcoming environment.
