Great news! Sir David English Sports Centre’s gym has reopened following a major transformation.  

Following customer and team feedback, BH Live – a registered charity and social enterprise – has funded the project to inspire more people to visit their local leisure centre and be more active. 

Brand-new Pulse Fitness gym equipment, decoration, and feature lighting has been installed for a modern, bright look. The gym has been transformed into a welcoming and engaging space to enable visitors of all ages and abilities to enjoy their workouts.  

Featuring state-of-the-art equipment, the gym’s cardio area has been upgraded with the latest treadmills, cross-trainers, stair climbers, and rowing machines. With interactive screens, virtual training options and performance tracking technology, the new set up has been designed to offer a more engaging way to exercise.  

The gym's redesigned strength area includes plate-loaded machines to enhance its resistance training offering. Following customer demand, brand-new to the centre is a plate-loaded leg press, a functional training rig, and a four-station cable tower. 

On behalf of BH Live, Rob Cunningham, Director of Leisure and Business Development shared; 

“We’ve listened to what our customers and team have told us, and we’re really excited to have given the Sir David English Sports Centre gym a fresh new look. The updates are all about making it a more welcoming, enjoyable place to work out – whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or you’ve been with us for years. We can’t wait to see even more of our community getting active, having fun, and making the most of everything the centre offers.”
