A gym in Bristol is to undergo a huge refurbishment costing hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The Yate Active Lifestyle Centre gym is being revamped as part of a wider plan to improve facilities for customers and the local community.
A total of £220,000 is being spent on the gym's refurbishment works, which is the second phase of a £300,000 investment plan at the leisure centre.
The revamp to the gym includes a larger fitness area and new state-of-the-art equipment such as resistance, cardiovascular and bike machines.
Andy Robinson, centre manager at Yate Active Lifestyle Centre, said: “We’re committed to offering the best facilities to our customers - and our gym area is extremely popular, so these refurbishment works are absolutely essential."
The first phase of the refurb included the opening of a new circuits studio, which Andy says has already been a "great hit".
He added: “It is an exciting time for Yate... and it’s fantastic to see an increase in customers who are new to exercise. I look forward to welcoming customers to the new-look gym very soon."
The work will start on Tuesday, August 27, and will take four days to complete; the gym will reopen to the public on Saturday, August 31.
Yate Active Lifestyle Centre is one of five Active Lifestyle Centres operated across South Gloucestershire by the not-for-profit organisation Circadian Trust.
