Rossendale Leisure Trust has invested in a new strength circuit at Haslingden Sports Centre in a move to target new markets.

The trust has installed an eight-station Hoist Roc-It system from Physique and will be offering circuit sessions as peak times to both attract new customers and boost capacity by freeing up other equipment in the fitness facility.

Diane Scott, head of operations sport at Rossendale Leisure Trust, said: "Customer satisfaction is extremely important, and with a membership of more than 1,400 and targets to increase this, we felt that the Roc-It circuit could only enhance and improve our member experience.

"The aim is to create a fun and motivating weights workout through circuit sessions, bringing the group exercise class into the gym itself. We are also aiming to attract more ladies, who can do a quick 30-minute workout."
