Active Nation signs four-year agreement with Precor

Fitness charity Active Nation has signed a four-year deal with leading fitness supplier Precor to install cardio and strength equipment at its clubs.

The charity currently operates a total of 17 sites across the UK and Active Nation plans to redevelop eight throughout 2012.

The first site to benefit from a Precor installation and a refurbishment will be Bitterne Leisure Centre in Southampton. Due to complete in July, it will feature the recently launched Precor AMT with Open Stride.

Stuart Martin, group commercial manager at Active Nation, said: "Having acquired seven new sites – five of those with gyms – over the last couple of years, we were looking to provide a more cohesive look across our sites."
