Celebrating The Transformation

We're delighted to announce that the major Ballysillan Gym and Reception Refurbishment project is complete and was officially launched yesterday (15th October 2025) with support from local Belfast City Councillors; Fred Cobain, Ian McLaughlin and Jordan Doran.

This significant £130,000 investment was completed in just four weeks and marks a huge upgrade to the centre, dramatically enhancing both our fitness offer and your overall visit.

Double the Workout Space

The biggest change is the all-new, expanded Gym Area. By removing a dividing wall, we have successfully doubled the footprint of our previous fitness space.

The refit includes:

  • A brand new, connected layout for a better workout experience.
  • New dedicated zones for functional training, free weights, and group exercise.
  • A refresh of our existing equipment, along with new flooring, lighting, and vibrant branding throughout.

A Warm New Welcome

We've also given the Reception Area a full transformation to improve customer flow and create a more social environment:

  • A redesigned concierge station for a smoother check-in process.
  • The creation of a fantastic new pool viewing and social space - the perfect spot to relax or grab a coffee.
  • This space is also fitted with a camera relay system so parents can comfortably watch their children during swimming lessons.
  • Upgraded flooring, lighting, and panelling for a modern, refreshed look.

Reinvestment in Your Community

As a social enterprise, we are committed to reinvesting directly back into Ballysillan Leisure Centre to provide the very best experience for our community.

The response from our customers, local representatives, and staff has been overwhelmingly positive, and we can’t wait for you to experience the fantastic new facilities.
