After a successful refurbishment of the sports hall and gym at Clissold Leisure Centre and following a public consultation, the next phase of improvements are well underway.
During this time, there may be a slight disruption with access to some areas of the centre.
We're building brand-new changing rooms for the sports hall, combining the current rooms to create larger male and female changing rooms. The new changing facilities will include shower cubicles, larger toilets and dedicated accessible changing.
The current Group Cycle Studio has been redeveloped to increase capacity for the introduction of your brand-new Elevate group cycle performance classes. The revamped studio features the latest interactive Technogym features, air conditioning, lighting and a new sound system.
Lastly, the current office block which was previously located upon entrance of Clissold Leisure Centre has now been demolished and a brand-new 4-storey soft play is now open for children to enjoy.
For children under 10, the new 4-storey soft play area includes interactive play equipment, party rooms, seating areas for parents and a dedicated toddler area so that children can explore a range of different materials, textures and colours. The theme of our soft play area is the fantastic Clissold Park.
Elevate classes are the introduction of a new range of immersive cardio, strength and endurance fitness classes that'll challenge you like never before. Using immersive music, lighting and body tracking devices - no two sessions will be the same. Even better, to allow even more members of the community to elevate their fitness, the group cycle studio capacity has been extended from 35 to 70.
The new Elevate Class studio, along with 4 new individual changing rooms would replace the current health and fitness changing rooms on level 2. This additional studio will also replace the mezzanine studio which would become the management offices.
Both new studios will feature new lighting and sound systems, along with brand-new air conditioning units. Elevate Group Cycle Classes will start from 15th July with Elevate HIIT classes on Level 2 starting in September 2024.
We will also carry out refurbishments to a range of other facilities within the leisure centre. This includes expanding the dry changing room areas, and installing new modern toilets, showers, vanity units and changing cubicles. The new changing rooms would be relocated to the current basement sports hall changing rooms. This relocation would allow us to combine the current changing rooms, making two much larger male and female changing rooms. We’d aim to open the new changing rooms in late summer 2024.
Please note the current gym changing rooms would not close until the new changing rooms have been completed.
We are also plan to replace the main entrance doors to Clissold Leisure Centre as well as replacing the flooring throughout the majority of the centre.
