Facility Refurbishment 2018

Toning Suite NOW OPEN!

Better Llanishen Leisure Centre is pleased to announce that it is now equipped with Shapemaster toning tables and chairs. Unlike conventional exercise equipment, Shapemaster’s range of exercise equipment does not rely exclusively on muscle power but by an electronic power system enabling you to work passively or actively, depending on your ability. The equipment is perfect for those wanting to:

  • Loose weight
  • Get in shape
  • Improve mobility
  • Tone up
  • Improve strength

As you do not have to provide the motion force, you do not have to overcome inertia in order to use the equipment making it the perfect choice for anyone coming back to exercise after periods of rest or inactivity. This includes the elderly or those with mobility issues.

If you feel intimidated or uncomfortable in a traditional gym environment, the 12 pieces of toning equipment are located away from the main gym so perfect for you to relax and go at your own pace.

The 12 pieces of toning equipment available are Bums and Tums, Fly and Thighs, Hipster, Posture Pullover, Tummy Crunch, Waist Away, Ab Pullover, Chest and Legs, Cross Cycle, Seated Climber, Side Bend Stepper, Tricep Dip and Leg Curl.

The equipment can also be used to manage and rehabilitate those living with conditions such as MS, Fibromyalgia and post stroke.

Pop into the centre to take a look around and discuss the fantastic membership options available.

New Changing Rooms Coming Soon

refurb_hammer_and_nails.jpg

Over the coming months our changing rooms will be transformed into separate wet and dry changing spaces.

Therefore, whilst we undertake the refurbishment, there will be some minor disruptions that you need to be aware of from 25th September – 4th December.

Closure of Female Changing Rooms Monday 25th September

The female changing rooms will be closed for 1 day on Monday 25th September for building work to be carried out.  Female customers will be required to use the male changing rooms for the day, while male customers will be required to use the outdoor changing rooms for the day.  Please note that there are no lockers in the outdoor changing rooms, so space will be provided for bags in the gym, at poolside and in the main hall.

Male Showers, Changing Rooms, Toilets and Pool Access

The current male changing rooms will be closed from MTuesday 26th September while the first phase of the refurbishment takes place. Temporary male shower and changing facilities will be available in a divided section of the current female changing areas and will be fully screened off. Male customers will be required to use the toilets opposite reception and access to the swimming pool will be via the first aid room.

Female Changing Room and Showers

The space in the female dry side changing rooms will be reduced to allow temporary use of dedicated showers and changing cubicles to male customers. Privacy screens will be in use to provide total seclusion. Female toilets and swimming pool access will remain unchanged.

Signage will be in place in the relevant areas to direct you appropriately. We will look to keep disruption to a minimum during the work and promise it will be worth the wait. Dates are subject to change, so please check back here for progress and updates, or ask a member of staff on your next visit.

Additional Future Works

Once phase one has been completed, separate male and female changing facilities will be open and available to use. Phase two will see the current female changing rooms undergoing refurbishment in early December 2017 and see the space transformed into new male and female dry only changing rooms.

 

The Flooring Has Been Laid!

Over the coming weeks you will see the upper activity area transformed into a modern and dynamic gym, aimed at motivating more people, making them more active, more often.

Additional future works will see:

  • Refurbishment work to the changing rooms and washrooms,
  • A new dance studio where the existing gym is located,
  • An improved reception area
  • The installation of fast track member kiosks,
  • A dedicated space on the first floor for spin classes. 

To ensure that there is minimal disruption to our members the existing gym will remain open as normal until the opening of the brand new gym. There will be a slight change to the fitness class and main hall timetable during this time so please make sure you check the timetable on our web site or visit our dedicated notice board in reception to find out more.

We will also keep updating this page throughout the duration of the refurbishment so that you know exactly what is happening and how the works are progressing.
