Ryland Leisure Centre in Bromsgrove is set to receive an upgrade of its fitness facilities.

Improvements at the centre will include a four court sports hall, a gym featuring Life Fitness equipment in its cardio, weights and functional training areas. A new dance studio for group fitness classes will open in January.

Outdoor facilities include an athletics track and a full size grass football pitch.

Management responsibilities for Ryland Centre have also been transferred to Sandwell Leisure Trust from Worcestershire County Council.

Ryland Centre's manager, Michelle Jones, said: "These are exciting times for the centre which has a great history of offering sports and activities to the local community.

"The centre will continue to be home to local clubs that provide activities for people of all ages."
