A new youth gym has been officially unveiled at Bilston Leisure Centre, Wolverhampton - one of 10 such facilities to be installed across the city.

The Shokk venue incorporates around 30 pieces of equipment, such as treadmills, rowers and resistance machines, as well as dance mats, a reaction wall and a climbing wall. Designed for children between the ages of 11-15, the new facility has been created as part of a £500,000 investment by Wolverhampton City Primary Care Trust.

Other Shokk gyms have been installed at schools and leisure centres, including Blakenhall Community and Healthy Living Centre, Aldersley High School and Central Baths.

Dr Adrian Phillips, Wolverhampton's director of public health, said: "This gives Bilston kids a great opportunity to have fun, be active and be healthy." The Shokk equipment will be relocated to the new £15m Bilston Leisure Centre when it opens to the public next year.
