Exciting Improvements Coming to Parkwood Health and Fitness

We are excited to be investing over £50,000 in brand new equipment, including replacement cardio machines from Life Fitness and Watt Bike, as well as additional resistance and plate-loaded machines. 

• Three state-of-the-art Life Fitness Arc Trainers. The Arc Trainer is a versatile alternative motion cross-trainer. Moving arms with multigrip handles provide a total-body workout that exerts less stress on the knees than walking but with 21 levels of incline the user can choose the type of workout they prefer and the different muscle groups that they want to work.
• As well as the above, the cardio area will be enhanced with four replacement Cross Trainers, two Powermill Climbers and two Watt Bikes.
• Based on member feedback, we will be adding a Life Fitness “Insignia” Combined Hip Adductor/Abductor machine. 
• For those looking to build strength, our offering will be improved with the addition of an iso-lateral plate-loaded horizontal bench press and iso-lateral row from Hammer Strength

What are the proposed dates?

The new equipment will be delivered and installed on Thursday 23 and Friday 24 January 2025. 

What will happen with memberships during this time?

There will be no impact on memberships.

Can I get inducted on the new equipment?

Yes, absolutely! If you would like a physical induction on the new equipment, you can contact the centre here to request this. Alternatively, the new equipment will have QR codes that can be scanned to provide you with a step-by-step video tutorial.

What facilities will be affected?

There will be a small amount of disruption in the gym area over these two days as some equipment is removed from the gym floor and the next equipment is brought in to replace it.

We will do everything possible to minimise disruption and the gym will remain open throughout.

All other areas of the centre will also be unaffected, including group exercise classes and activities in the swimming pool.

How will I know what’s going on?

We will be sending emails to our members, as well as updating our social media channels. We will also have communication on display in the centre updating you with the latest news leading up to and throughout the works. 

If you have any further questions please ask our reception team.
