The fitness suite at Moorways Sports Village is set to be expanded to more than 200 stations as part of an exciting £327,000 project.
The centre, run by award-winning operator Everyone Active in partnership with Derby City Council, will increase the size of the gym to cover the majority of the second floor.
Once completed, Moorways will be home to one of the largest gyms in Everyone Active’s portfolio of more than 230 centres across the country.
Works are due to begin on Monday, April 21 and are scheduled to be completed by Friday, June 20. The improved gym will feature around 55 more stations, an increase of 38 per cent on the current set-up. It will include:
- Brand new functional area including sled track
- Brand new resistance and Hammer Strength plate-loaded machines
- Booty Builder dual hip thrust bench
- Brand new recovery area
- Brand new additional treadmills
It is not anticipated that the works will cause any disruption, with members able to use all facilities as normal while upgrades are ongoing.
As part of the project, group fitness facilities will be relocated to the first floor, where the existing meeting rooms are being transformed into a brand-new multi-purpose studio.
Everyone Active’s general manager, Myles Hickman, said:
This fantastic project is hugely exciting news and we cannot wait to show the local community the new and improved gym on their doorstep.
The upgrades will enable us to accommodate more people, providing a wider range of state-of-the-art equipment which aligns with current fitness trends.
No matter what your age, interests or ability, the gym at Moorways and our helpful colleagues will enable you to achieve your perfect workout.
Councillor Ndukwe Onuoha, Derby City Council Cabinet Member for Streetpride, Public Safety and Leisure, said:
It’s wonderful to see how Moorways Sport Village is thriving. This exciting project to expand the fitness suite will enhance the gym experience for members and allow even more Derby citizens to boost their health and wellbeing.
