Updated Gym

Parkside Pools and Gym 2.0

At the start of this year, Better decided to upgrade all of their Gyms across the UK, including Parkside’s.

We have reshuffled our gym equipment around to make a new area, which we have called the functional area.

As we know how busy people can be, we wanted an area, that has functions that can hit the full body, to get a real sweat on, so people can get a work out in less time and still burn the same amount of calories.

You should be able to spot our new functional area as we have decided to go for a nice and bright purple AstroTurf to put it on. 

On this functional area you can find kit such as:

• The new Skill Mill we just purchased from Technogym
• A Concept 2 SkiErg
• Battle ropes
• Our brand new sled
• Our new rig, which includes equipment such as dips bar, pull up bar, step up shelf, punch bag, as well as holding other equipment such as kettle bells, slam balls, free weights etc.

If you require any help using some of our new functional fitness equipment, please speak to a member of our team who would be more than happy to assist.

We are running functional fitness classes on this new area, with our best instructors such as Jake, Steph and Roji, bookings for these classes are still available via the Better UK app, and the Better.Org.Uk website via the book activity section.

We have also upgraded all of our wall art with more inspirational quotes to get you working out even harder, as well as splashing a lick of paint on the walls and pillars to make it look much more electrifying.

The reason we have been able to invest all this money into the gym, is because we are a charitable and social enterprise, and that all of the profits that we make gets reinvested directly into the centres.

We hope that you can come down to see our new gym, please ask a member of staff at reception who will be able to show your round our gym 2.0.
