Parkwood Leisure has completed work on a new gym at the Riverside Leisure Centre in Exeter.

The gym, costing around £265,000, has been developed in partnership with Exeter City Council, Jamieson Smith Associates (JSA), Life Fitness.

The 100-station facility incorporates the former bar and function room, which has now created a spacious and much larger environment for members.

Parkwood Leisure project managed the scheme to deliver a design to increase the existing fitness suite by 30 stations, along with a refurbishment including new floors, ceiling installations, new HVAC installation, new cv theatre and eight plasma TV's.

The construction work was carried out by JSA with Life Fitness supplying its Classic CV and Optimas Series Resistance equipment. Escape Fitness provided the gym's free weights.

Darren Parrott, Parkwood's South West Regional Director, said: "The Gym is fantastic and we are delighted to be able to provide such a good facility to the various sectors of the community."
