Refurb Works To Start At Abraham Darby Sports And Leisure Centre
Telford & Wrekin Council has announced a £250,000 refurbishment at Abraham Darby Sports and Leisure Centre.
The improvements will include upgrades to its aspirations gym and a brand new cycling studio.
The investment comes as a part of the council's wider commitment for leisure services which was announced last year to help make the borough cleaner, greener, safer and more enjoyable.
The centre currently sees around 15,000 customers walk through its doors each week to make use of onsite gym, swim, fitness and sports facilities onsite.
The gym refurbishment, which will begin on Monday 14 November 2022 until Tuesday 29 November, will see brand new state-of-the art gym kit installed from Pulse Fitness. New equipment includes 26 cardio stations complete with treadmills, elliptical cross trainers, stepmills and Ski ergs. There will also be 17 fixed resistance stations and larger free weights area to include a smith machine.
A new cycling studio is also being built complete with 15 bikes to enhance the cycling classes offer at the centre.
As a part of the refurbishment work Abraham Darby Sports and Leisure Centre swimming pool will also close for three weeks from Monday 14 November and Monday 5 December 2022, due to structural work being undertaken around the pool promenade.
Councillor Kelly Middleton (Labour), Cabinet Member for Leisure, Public Health and Well-Being, Equalities and Partnerships commented: "We are on the side of our residents, and this is our second leisure centre to receive upgrades so far this year. We know these facilities play a vital role in contributing to people’s physical and mental wellbeing and this is why we will continue to invest in our gyms and swimming pools. It is essential that they are not only great places for our residents to keep fit and healthy - but that we offer customers the latest fitness equipment to enhance their leisure experience."
