A new £20,000 expansion to a gym in Calverton will open next week.
An underused squashed court at Calverton Leisure Centre, which is owned by Gedling Borough Council, has been converted to make way for a new strength and conditioning free-weight training studio.
The new £20,000 expansion includes an Olympic lifting platform and bench press, squat rack, cable crossover, benches, dumbbells and weight plates.
The new gym expansion will double the existing capacity.
The new facilities will open to the public from Tuesday, April 3 and there will be a ribbon cutting event taking place on Thursday 29 March.
Councillor Henry Wheeler, Portfolio Holder for Housing, Health & Well-being said: “The new facilities look fantastic and are a great addition to Calverton Leisure Centre. With UK gym memberships increasing all the time, we understand the need for modern equipment and extra space.
He added: “We are very proud to offer affordable facilities like this one at Calverton for our residents, on their doorsteps.”

It’s a shame they don’t have a period of time when over 11’s can attend as my kids have to travel to Kirkby or Sutton to go to the gym.
