A new 200sq m (2,153sq ft) fitness suite has been created at Nottingham Trent University's (NTU) Clifton Campus ahead of the start of the 2010-11 academic year.

The university worked in partnership with supplier Life Fitness to provide the facility, which houses more than 50 stations of equipment - including a full range of Elevation Series Engage cv machines. Equipment at the facility also features the Signature Series and the cable motion machine, the Dual Adjustable Pulley (DAP). A separate suite will house Hammer Strength stations aimed at elite athletes.

Life Fitness has implemented its Journey system as part of the scheme, which aims to zone the fitness suite in a bid to increase productivity and the longevity of exercise sessions. Nick Mennell, territory development manager - Midlands at Life Fitness, said: "There will be a vast range of Life Fitness product within the generic fitness suite. as well as the Strength and Conditioning space. This will give the users a fantastic base to train from beginner to elite performer."
