University of Liverpool's Sport & Fitness Centre has reopened with more than 100 new pieces of equipment as part of a £5m project to improve the university's sports facilities.

The revamped fitness centre features more than 100 new pieces of Cybex cardio and strength training equipment as well as an advanced strength training area.

The training area includes Cybex power racks, adjustable, incline and decline benches, alongside plate-loaded equipment including chest press, overhead press and squat press.

Cybex's Bravo Functional Trainer was also installed and 770A lower body and 770AT total body Arc Trainers and Personalised Entertainment Monitors with iPod connectivity.

The first phase of the project was launched last March and included a £2.5m refurbishment of the university's 33m six-lane swimming pool.
