Brand-new gym equipment is on it's way

South Reading Leisure Centre is gearing up for one of its most exciting transformations yet, with a full gym refurbishment with brand-new Technogym equipment, from 1st July.

This investment marks a bold step forward for the centre, reinforcing its commitment to providing a modern, energising, and high‑performance training environment for the Reading community.

The redesigned gym floor Technogym introduces a smarter, more intuitive layout that enhances training flow. Members will immediately notice the difference as they walk through the space.

The Technogym equipment includes upgraded selectorised strength machines, plate‑loaded kit, and cardio vasicular kit. Each piece has been chosen to support a wide range of training goals, from muscle building and strength development to rehabilitation and general fitness. Cardio users will benefit from a refreshed Technogym cardio suite, featuring treadmills, cross trainers, bikes, and stair machines arranged to maximise space and create a more open, motivating environment.

Importantly, the refurbishment focuses solely on the gym floor and equipment upgrade that is best fit to the space and areas within the gym. All changing rooms and surrounding facilities remain fully operational and unchanged throughout the works.

We will have a phased period where by a few bits of kit will be removed on Friday 19th June ahead of the whole refurbishment, this allows us to expand some rubber matted flooring space to cater for some of the new kit that will require this flooirng underneath. Following this we will then have a two and a half day closure on Monday 29th June to Wednesday 1st July morning. Members will be able to attend either Palmer Park Leisure Centre, Meadway Leisure Centre or Rivermead Leisure Centre. Meadway will be also having a closure on the 29th as they have a refurb also.

Members can expect regular updates, behind‑the‑scenes progress, and sneak peeks as the new Technogym‑powered space takes shape and worth following both our Facebook and Instagram for these updates.
