£500,000 Redevelopment Gets Underway At Etwall Leisure Centre

Have you heard the news? Work starts next week on an exciting £500,000 redevelopment at Etwall Leisure Centre in South Derbyshire, which will see the venue’s gym double in size and the installation of two new studios!

The Active Nation venue, managed on behalf of South Derbyshire District Council, will be transformed over the next few months – enabling even more people to take part in sport and exercise.

The improvements will include a bigger and better equipped gym; a new group exercise studio; a new cycling studio; a new reception and coffee bar with views to the pool and the installation of a new tennis court surface with the addition of floodlights to enable it to be used throughout the year.

With all that extra space in the gym it means we can accommodate even more top of the range kit from leading industry supplier Precor. There will also be a new audio visual system to help keep you entertained and motivated during your workout.

The class studio will be fitted with a sprung floor and a new sound system and the new cycling studio will be kitted out with new studio cycles from Keiser and will also have a new light and sound system.

Capital contributions from South Derbyshire District Council, Active Nation and Sport England have allowed this exciting redevelopment at Etwall Leisure Centre to go forward, which will see more than £500,000 invested in improved and extended facilities.

Active Nation’s South Derbyshire contract manager David Johns said: “These really are exciting times for Etwall Leisure Centre.

“Coming quickly after the installation of the full sized artificial turf football pitch – the venue will have received £1million worth of investment in facilities – which will enhance the opportunities to participate in sport and physical activity by the enthusiastic local community.”

For more information about the redevelopment come down and have a chat with the team and have a look at the plans!

Please note that during these works the venue will remain open as normal, with a goal of causing minimal disruption to your workout, although at times inevitably there may be occasions when our programming of sessions might have to be adapted, but we will notify you of these changes in advance.

We’ll be in touch again next week once works have started to update you in more detail.
