Lutterworth Leisure Centre refurbished as council leisure investment continues
Published Thursday 8 August 2024The gym at Lutterworth Leisure Centre re-opened right on schedule on Friday 2 August and feedback from visitors over the weekend has been fabulous!
Following a successful refurbishment project at the centre, the gym has been significantly improved with new state-of-the-art equipment installed, upgrading of air conditioning, gym décor refreshed, and additional upgrades to the group exercise studio.
The cycling studio now enjoys a disco atmosphere with upgraded, modern lighting and with brand-new Keiser spin bikes installed to further embellish the spin class experience.
The facility’s name has changed to reflect the broad range of activities and spaces on offer for all the family and all levels of fitness. The previously named Lutterworth Sports Centre now becomes Lutterworth Leisure Centre to represent this change in user experience.
One gym user said: “I like all the new equipment, I like the fact that it’s all really clean and everyone is very welcoming and helpful”.
Another gym user declared: “Loving the new gym, it’s cooler than the old one, we’ve actually got some air conditioning and the equipment is amazing so it’s great for me. Cheers.”
Cllr Jo Asher, Harborough District Council’s Portfolio lead for Leisure said: “It is rewarding to hear such great feedback from gym visitors to Lutterworth Leisure Centre. The new name really reflects the upgraded range of opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the superb facilities on offer, with improvements at the centre still ongoing.
“We continue to invest and support the health and wellbeing of local residents with the refurbishment of Harborough Leisure Centre progressing on schedule. We also work closely with local communities across the rural Harborough district to deliver a wide range of outreach events and activities.”
Matthew Hopkin, Everyone Active’s contract manager, said: “It was great to welcome visitors to the new gym this weekend and receive positive feedback.
Anyone who would like help or support with using the new equipment can book in for an in-person group introduction on the Everyone Active app or with reception”.
The £6 million council capital investment into the district council’s two leisure centres, at Lutterworth and Market Harborough, was confirmed in December 2023.
