Olympic launch for Leisure Centre's improved gym

Freedomleisure will mark the opening at 6pm on August 8 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by guests.

The substantial refurbishment project represents a 60,000 investment.

It has been undertaken by Freedomleisure, in conjunction with Rother District Council. It provides gym users with increased space and extra gym stations featuring 15 new pieces of equipment, including Summit Trainers, a Smith Machine, a Cable Cross Over Machine and free-weights which have not been available at Bexhill previously.

As part of this refit, the male and female changing rooms are also being refurbished and new lockers are to be installed.

Rother council's leisure services officer Sue Adamson said: "It's always exciting to find that you have new 'kit' to play with at the gym; it keeps your training fresh and encourages you to set yourself higher targets.

"We are delighted that Freedom Leisure continues to expand and develop the facilities for Bexhill users."

Anyone interested in visiting Bexhill Leisure Centre for a tour of the new-look facilities and to take advantage of a range of special offers, including no-joining fee and, 'nothing to pay until September' can call Nicole White on 01424 731171.
