The team have invested a large amount of time and money in the design of the fitness centre, to make sure that members experience near perfect conditions, with a state of the art air management system which will be visible as part of the industrial chic design of the centre. The air management system will keep members comfortable whatever time of year.
The gym has been designed to have large specifically zoned areas, so you can easily target the areas you feel you need to work and improve on. The centre will have 2 large studios for group classes, the Revolution Zone, a spin studio which holds 23 bikes and the Survival Zone, which will be a boot camp area. The Relaxation Zone will display a 55” TV screen, gym towels & padlocks for lockers. It will not only be members that have the opportunity to relax in the area, but members of the public can also spend time there.”
