Ladies-only gym in listed building gets a modern lift

By Jak Phillips    17 Mar 2014
The Curve was opened last month by Bradford Lord Mayor Khadim Hussain

The Curve, a brand new ladies-only gym in a restored Grade II listed Edwardian building in Bradford, has been given a slice of 21st century technology to complement its vintage facade, thanks to a complete fit-out from equipment provider Star Trac.

What was the Manningham Baths, an old-fashioned swimming bath for the local community, is now a modern 800sq m gym, which retains many of the old building’s original features.

Helen Moore, club manager at The Curve – an independent club owned by Amjad Saddiq – believes the unique surroundings will ensure a steady stream of members for the new facility.

“The Curve has been designed to act as a safe place for women to work out and socialise in a luxurious environment,” she said.

“I’m confident that the brand new equipment will inspire our new members to get fit and stay healthy in 2014.”

Star Trac has installed a range of equipment including E-series CV; 12 treadmills, 9 cross trainers, 6 upright bikes, 7 recumbent bikes 2 Star Trac StairMill and 2 Star Trac Steppers as well as a number of pieces of strength equipment.

The new facility has also invested in 15 Spinner NXT bikes and 2 Star Trac eSpinners® making The Curve a truly cutting edge club and number one destination for fitness fanatics in Bradford.

“The transformation that the building has undergone is remarkable and the new kit looks superb in the space,” said John Gamble, managing director of Star Trac EMEA.

“The great combination of pioneering equipment will no doubt motivate all the members to begin their fitness regimes with enthusiasm.”
