BANNATYNE GROUP INVESTS £ 850,000 IN ASHFORD HEALTH CLUB
THE BANNATYNE HEALTH CLUB IN ASHFORD HAS RECEIVED A BOOST TO ITS EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES THANKS TO EXTRA INVESTMENT.
The Eureka Leisure Park health club has had state-of-the-art equipment installed on its gym floor following a £ 850,000 refurbishment as part of the Bannatyne Group ' s continued investment in all of its UK health clubs.
Improvements include the creation of a new functional training area, featuring an Omnia 8 Rig, which aims to increase member interaction by allowing up to eight gym-goers to simultaneously swing, balance and hang from the equipment to strengthen core muscles in a fun and engaging way. Water rowers and SKILLMILL machines have also been installed.
The club has also upgraded its technological offering with the installation of MYZONE heart rate monitors and the Bannatyne app, which allows members to keep track of their fitness progress, complete challenges on their smart phone and book classes.
In addition to the new equipment, the free weights area has been extended and the Café Bar has a new healthy menu as part of the Group ' s investment in its food and beverage offering.
Shaun Suggett, general manager at Bannatyne Ashford, said: " The new gym floor at Bannatyne Health Club Ashford is fantastic. Our members will certainly feel and see the benefits from the state-of-the-art equipment, which will help them to reach their fitness goals more effectively.
" The Omnia 8 Rig is already a big hit with members. Functional training is the way the industry is progressing, with a focus on training movement patterns rather than isolation individual muscle groups when it is used alongside the new results monitoring equipment, I ' m sure members will see results faster than they thought possible. The new gym floor and extended free weights area are the perfect complement to our existing facilities including, swimming pool, sauna, and group exercise rooms for a whole variety of classes, including the fantastic new Block Fit."
