Fitness and leisure provider, and facilities management company, Leisure Connection, has announced an investment of more than £1m in improvements and upgrades on 11 leisure centres across the UK.

In addition to a full overhaul of gyms at Downham and Willesden, which saw both sites provided with new 130-station gym facilities at a combined cost of £500,000, Leisure Connection is also refurbishing gyms at Leisure Centres in Bourne, Peele, Grantham, Carnival Pool, St Crispin, Mountfitchet, North Kesteven, Worcester and Perdiswell.

All refurbishments, which are scheduled to take place during summer and autumn this year, will see particular focus made on upgrading all cardio vascular and resistance equipment.
