New fitness equipment for Chesterfield leisure centres
State-of-the-art fitness equipment is set to be installed at two Chesterfield leisure centres.
The 150 stations currently available at the Healthy Living Centre in Staveley will all be replaced before Christmas. There will be a mix of the latest cardio, strength and functional machines and accessories to provide a range of exercise options for users.
New equipment will also be in place at the new Queen’s Park Sports Centre when it opens early next year. The size of the new fitness suite will be more than double that in the current centre, with over 80 stations compared to the 40 now available.
At least half of the new equipment will be designed to an inclusive standard which will improve accessibility to equipment for people with disabilities.
Councillor Chris Ludlow, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing said: “One of the council’s top priorities is the health and wellbeing of our residents and this investment shows how seriously we take this.
“We are committed to keeping the equipment at both our fitness suites as up to date and as accessible as possible for our gym users.”
A consultation will be carried out before the final mix of equipment is chosen.
