'Outstanding' - Wirral leisure centres reopen after £1 million gym upgrade
Four Wirral leisure centres have reopened after a £1 million upgrade, featuring new state-of-the-art equipment.
A state-of-the-art range of new gym machines and equipment has been installed at West Kirby Concourse, Guinea Gap Leisure Centre, Leasowe Leisure Centre and The Oval as part of a wider transformation programme for Active Wirral services. Brand-new revolution bikes are also now in action for classes at West Kirby, Leasowe and The Oval centres.
The upgrade includes brand-new cardio equipment, strength training options and IFI approved (Inclusive Fitness Initiative) equipment for users that have mobility issues and/or use wheelchairs.
Cllr Ann Ainsworth, Vice-Chair of Wirral’s Tourism, Communities, Culture and Leisure Committee said: “I’m pleased to say that the leisure centres have been upgraded swiftly and are all now back open and fully operational, with tonnes of customers already saying how much their workouts have improved with the new equipment on offer.
“This investment of £1 million further cements the outstanding offer that Active Wirral leisure centres can provide to existing gym users, or people looking for a new affordable workout space to improve their health and fitness.
