New gyms set to be unveiled at South Derbyshire leisure centres

Two leisure centres in South Derbyshire are set to reopen their revamped gyms following an exciting £600,000 refurbishment.

Green Bank Leisure Centre in Swadlincote and Etwall Leisure Centre are run by leading operator Everyone Active in partnership with South Derbyshire District Council.

Courtesy of the six-figure joint investment, both gyms now feature new state-of-the-art Life Fitness cardio equipment and Hammer Strength plate-loaded and lifting equipment.

They include the latest in recovery products such as rollers, massage guns and stretch zones, while there is also new lighting and flooring as part of a fresh look and feel.

Green Bank’s gym has been extended to 100 stations while Etwall’s gym has increased to 50 stations, the latter reopening on Thursday, June 6.

The Green Bank gym is set to reopen on Sunday, June 2, with an official reopening on Monday, June 3. This will involve a 10am ribbon cutting witnessed by VIP guests, with open visits and tours available from 10am-4pm. From 6pm-9pm, a live DJ in the gym will keep members motivated during their fitness sessions.

Everyone Active personal training will also be launched at both sites upon their reopening.

Nick Fearnett, Everyone Active’s contract manager, said: “We cannot wait to reopen these gyms and show the local community the fantastic facilities on their doorstep.

“Both gyms are looking fantastic and the state-of-the-art equipment that has been brought in will serve gymgoers for years to come.

“No matter what your interests or ability, there is a gym activity for you at Etwall and Green Bank, as well as a variety of other activities across both centres.”
