Greasley Parish Council and equipment supplier Precor have carried out a refurbishment of the health and fitness facilities at Greasley Sports and Community Centre, Nottinghamshire.

The Lifestyles Fitness Suite has increased in size by 30 per cent from 159sq m (1,711sq ft) to 206sq m (2,217sq ft) in the first phase of a two-year programme at the venue. Work to expand the gym was made possible by adapting a former snooker and table tennis area to increase the free weights space, which is fitted with a range of Precor equipment.

Rob Doughty, manager of Greasley Sports and Community Centre, said: "The gym extension should allow us to increase membership and encourage even more people to use the facilities." Precor UK sales director Jez Whitling added: "The addition of the strength area to the Greasley Sports Centre will no doubt help to increase gym usage and continue to provide the community with excellent facilities."
