£45,000 boost for Ancholme Leisure Centre gym

FROM KIRSTY WESTFIELD, NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL

The council is investing £45,000 to refurbish the gym equipment at Ancholme Leisure Centre to ensure gym-goers have access to top class equipment.
The gym will be temporarily closed on Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 December to carry out the work.
This investment follows a consultation with customers which identified that gym users would like different types of equipment to help them with their exercise.
The new state-of-the-art gym equipment being installed includes:

• Five new cross-trainers – helps tone muscles and strengthen your heart
• Two recumbent cycles – gentle on your joints and supports lower back
• Three upright cycles – uses the same muscles as outdoor cycling
• Arm cycle – a great way to work your chest, shoulders, back, arms and core muscles, and for people with reduced mobility
• Synrgy 360 T Rig – a multi-use training system that can be used for group classes
• Squat rack – customisable equipment that two people can use at the same time

The treadmills will be replaced at a later date with interactive treadmills that allow people to run, jog or walk in different countries or link in with other people logged onto the system.
