Sir Dave Brailsford puts the equipment through its places

The new Canolfan Brailsford Sports Centre was recently opened in Bangor by local lad and former British Cycling chief Sir Dave Brailsford, who said he was “honoured” to have the facility named after him.

The centre, which is part of Bangor University, has undergone a £2.5m refurbishment programme to provide sports and exercise facilities for both Bangor University and the local community.

The new facilities include a brand new two-storey 8,500sq m (91,493sq ft) gym and as sole supplier, Life Fitness has installed over 100 pieces of equipment including pieces from the Discover range CV, Signature Series strength and Hammer Strength HD Elite. The University has also become the first customer in the UK to offer workout options for Welsh language speakers through the Discover Tablet Console.

Also on site is a fully-floodlit astro turf pitch, two grass pitches, two indoor sports halls, a sports dome, squash courts, climbing wall and a multi-purpose gymnastics hall.

On his visit to the site, Brailsford said: "I’ve been lucky to receive a few honours over the years, but some of them are more personal and this is very personal and something which connects my life previously. I feel very passionate about this area so anything I can do to help this area, I’m all for.”
