A bigger, better gym is coming to Lea Manor

You may have heard the rumours, but we can now officially confirm that we’re refurbishing and significantly expanding the gym at Lea Manor Recreation Centre.

Work begins on Monday 17 August, transforming the current Small Hall into additional gym space while upgrading our existing gym areas to create a much bigger, more modern workout environment.

We’re aiming to complete the project in December. Once finished, the gym will have almost twice as much space, growing from around 3,250 sq ft to 6,000 sq ft, with more than 90 workout stations and dedicated areas for different types of training.

The expanded gym will include:

  • More cardio equipment, including additional treadmills
  • A much larger free weights area
  • More strength and resistance equipment
  • New functional training space, including a rig and sled track
  • Clearly defined workout zones, making the gym easier to navigate and giving you more choice over how and where you train

The refurbishment will take place in stages over the coming months, allowing us to keep gym facilities available throughout the project wherever possible.

We can’t wait to show you the new and improved Lea Manor gym!
