New gym equipment and fresh, modern interiors are being delivered at the leisure centres in Glossop and Buxton thanks to around £140,000 of improvements funded by the Borough Council.
The enhancements are being delivered as part of the Council’s Leisure Transformation Plan and have been developed in partnership with MyActive, the council’s leisure and wellbeing company, based on customer feedback.
Councillor Damien Greenhalgh, Deputy Leader and Executive Councillor for Regeneration, Tourism and Leisure, said: “I’m delighted that we’re continuing our investment by purchasing this new equipment and upgrading the look, feel and usability of our MyActive centres in Glossop and Buxton.
“Moving more and being active underpins good physical and mental health. We’re committed to ensuring people across the High Peak have access to quality sports and leisure facilities to support healthy lifestyles - and listening to what people want is key to that.
“That’s why I’m particularly pleased that we’re acting on feedback from our customers and providing new gym equipment, including a new fleet of spin bikes at both centres, alongside the improvements to modernise exercise spaces so that they complement the enhancements made in other parts of the buildings as well as Active Zones in our Borough’s parks.”
At MyActive Glossop the improvements include a new suite of Technogym spin bikes and a Technogym virtual system creating a more immersive experience. The studio environment is being improved with a new ceiling and enhanced LED lighting. The gym and classes remain open as usual as the upgrade is carried out.
