A new 20-station gym opened on 5 May at Bell’s Sports Centre in Perth, Scotland.

The centre, which is operated by sports trust Perth and Kinross Leisure, has seen one of its former meeting rooms converted and kitted out with a range of Life Fitness CV equipment.

The new facility is in addition to the existing strength and conditioning gym.

Paul Cromwell, service delivery manager said: “This is an exciting addition to Bell’s Sports Centre and compliments the Strength and Conditioning gym that was opened in 2007 in partnership with Tayside and Fife Institute of Sport.

“Users of that gym, including the Institute’s elite athletes now have the opportunity to develop a full training programme using one facility.

“The gym will also be of great value to both existing and new customers and gives opportunity for parents and carers to take part in physical activity while their children enjoy our coached activities.

“The new fitness gym also allows us to introduce our Activity Referral programme to Bell’s Sports Centre, which has already proved popular in a number of our other sites. All of this goes a significant way to improving the health and well-being of the population of Perth and surrounding areas, which is our primary aim as Perth and Kinross’s largest leisure provider.”
