Workington Leisure Centre are currently seeking to improve the gym facilities available to our customers. This is planned to be the most significant change since Workington Leisure Centre first opened in 2016.
Nationally, health and fitness continues to be a dynamic and changing environment. Trends indicate a shift in utilisation of training equipment with resistance training and functional based training becoming more prominent today than when our Centre first opened back in 2016. The Chief Medical Officer’s report in 2019 also outlined various benefits that resistance training and functional/proprioceptive work can have on the health of the country; reducing the risks of osteopenia/sarcopenia/reduced risk of falls/fractures and resulting loss of independence in later years.
