SOLL unveils new-look Abingdon club

By Pete Hayman    26 Jan 2011
SOLL Vale took on the lease of The Park Club in September 2010

SOLL Leisure Group has unveiled a new-look fitness facility as part of a £215,000 revamp of The Park Club, a private health club in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.

The 27,000sq ft (2,508sq m) club incorporates a 5,000sq ft (465 sq m) gymnasium, which has been fitted with 120 stations supplied by Life Fitness and Matrix Fitness. XN Leisure is supplying the leisure management system and the Harlands Group has been chosen to provide the membership and the 'Join Online' offer.

Other facilities include a 20m x 8m swimming pool; a sauna and steamroom; a sports hall; a sports injury clinic; two studios; and two therapy rooms. The refurbishment has been undertaken following an agreement signed in September 2010, which saw SOLL Vale take on a 22-year lease of the club.

In addition to the gym revamp, SOLL brands Football Leagues and Swimming Lessons were introduced as part of an official launch on 14 January. SOLL Leisure Group managing director Mark Jaggers said: "We are very pleased with the successful introduction of the Park Club after a strategic review of the groups operations.

"I am certain that existing and future members of the club will be delighted with the facilities on offer and the improvements SOLL has already made to the club." Image (from left): Mark Jaggers; MEPC Milton Park managing director - James Dipple; and SOLL Leisure Group trustee Paul Sambrook
