Healthworks Fitness Studio, a Stratford-Upon-Avon health club run by personal trainer Jason Ziel, has invested £12,000 to refurbish half of its gym floor with new equipment including the Star Trac HumanSport Range.

Originally opened in 1994 by Jason and his late father Ray, the 2,500 sq ft (232sq m) independent health club currently has more than 300 active members. Ziel hopes that the refurbishment will not only expand training options for existing members, but also attract new members.

He said: "We know that beginning an exercise routine can be daunting which is why we spend as much one-to-one time with you until you are confident and knowledgeable about performing your exercises.

"We don't believe in offering a one-off induction then promoting personal training services. All the support you need is included in your membership."
