A Fulham fitness centre has fully re-opened to residents following a council-funded makeover.
Hammersmith & Fulham Council recently invested in improvements at its leisure centres across the borough - with the Lillie Road Fitness Centre recently fully reopening following the major upgrade.
Fitness fanatics and those just wanting to keep active can all benefit from brand new gym equipment, a new group cycle studio, refurbished changing rooms and a new user-friendly self-entry system.
“It’s great to see these fantastic improvements which along with our new Pay and Play membership mean anyone in the borough has access to living a more active life,” said Cllr Wesley Harcourt, H&F Cabinet Member for Environment.
“With these improvements we’re building on the hard work we’re already doing to ensure the health and well-being of our residents and to tackle the rising obesity epidemic.”
Investing in your health and wellbeing
The refurbishment comes following H&F Council’s renewal of its agreement in summer 2019 with the charitable social enterprise GLL to run the borough’s three centres:
- Hammersmith Fitness and Squash Centre
- Lillie Road Fitness Centre
- Phoenix Fitness Centre and Janet Adegoke Swimming Pool.
It also follows the launch of a new residents’ ‘Pay and Play’ membership card which offers free annual membership to use any of the three centres.
