Shrewsbury gym looking forward to reopening with fresh investment
A gym has completed a quarter of a million pound transformation ahead of re-opening to the public on Monday.
Members of the Shrewsbury Club will have the first opportunity to exercise in the newly-refurbished gym, which has also been extended, from Monday morning.
The club's managing director Dave Courteen, said that they were excited about being able to offer something fresh for returning gym goers – and just welcoming people back after lockdown.
He said: “We know the importance of continuing to invest, even when times have been difficult.
“We very much value the support of all of our members. We have kept in touch with them during the three national lockdowns to provide as much support as possible through the periods when we have had to close.
“We offered online classes and live streaming programmes, which generated lots of positive feedback and proved to be popular.
“Our dedicated and committed team are now really looking forward to welcoming all our members back.”
Redecoration
The gym has added a new range of cardiovascular and resistance machines, with the refurbishment also including new flooring and redecoration.
Mr Courteen said: "It’s all part of our commitment to providing our members with the best possible experience.
"We know the importance of continuing to invest in our facilities, and that’s why we have pressed ahead with our plans despite what's clearly been an exceptionally challenging 12 months financially.
"The gym refurbishment is another illustration of our determination to bounce back from being closed for much of the last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"We are really looking forward to our members seeing the transformation and enjoying spending time in the gym."
Members have been able to use the outdoor exercise facilities and outdoor tennis courts at the Sundorne Road venue in Shrewsbury since the first lockdown restrictions were lifted at the end of last month.
The club will return to normal opening hours with the majority of the facilities, including the spa, the swimming pool and vitality pool, now allowed to reopen, with Covid-secure guidelines in place.
