PLC gym is brought into the 21st Century

Wednesday, 18th January 2017


The gym at Pendle Leisure Centre has been brought into the 21st Century with a complete refurb which is proving very popular with members.

Brand new pieces of Gym Gear equipment, featuring all the latest technology, have been installed at the Colne leisure centre, including cardio-vascular and resistance machines, Tornado Air Bikes, a Spartan Functional Training Rig and a Jacobs Ladder.

Pendle Leisure Trust already prides itself on the service it provides, with trained, friendly staff and experienced instructors. This new equipment is to add to the experience to enable both existing members and potential new ones to reach their individual fitness goals.

Luke Allwood, the Trust’s Health and Fitness Manager, said: “We are really proud of the equipment we have had installed – and the reaction it has already had from customers.

“The Jacobs Ladder is a first for gyms in this area. Attached to a resistance wire, you have to use your hands and feet to climb a ladder. Working at your own pace, you use all the muscles in your body.

“The Tornado Air Bikes are something else new for Colne and perfect for intense cardio workouts, as well as more gentle workouts and rehabilitation.

“And the Training Rig has given us an opportunity to introduce new group classes, which are proving very popular; as well as being used for Personal Training sessions with customers already seeing the benefits of these new pieces of kit.”
