Three leisure facilities in Poole, Dorset, have received significant upgrades following an investment of £400,000 by @Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP Council). The refurbishment works on Ashdown Leisure Centre, Rossmore Leisure Centre and the Poole Dolphin Leisure Centre took place after the sites became council-managed at the beginning of October 2024. The improvements – which included upgrades to fitness equipment, including cardio and strength equipment, refreshed interiors, resurfaced floors, and enhanced workout spaces – were completed in time for the traditionally busy January period, when people are looking to kick start the year by joining gyms and taking part in exercise.

How to Stay Fit and Healthy Without a Gym Membership

Urban planning isn’t just about infrastructure 🏗️; it’s about fostering healthier, more connected communities 🌱🤝. The new outdoor accessible fitness area at South Courtice Arena 💪✨ exemplifies how thoughtful design can promote inclusivity, well-being, and active living 🏋️♂️🚴♀️. By integrating accessible fitness opportunities into public spaces, we’re investing in physical and mental health ❤️🧠 while encouraging social interaction—a core principle of sustainable community development 🌍. Kudos to Clarington Municipality and the Government of Canada Healthy Communities Initiative 🇨🇦 for making this vision a reality. #UrbanPlanning #CommunityDevelopment #HealthyLiving #Accessibility

😍 Beautiful - A Woodstock for runners. The idea of the #experience #economy in the fitness industry is well embraced by now, and we don't stop seeing a lot of initiatives within fitness clubs/gyms to pivot their services into experience-focused models, clubs creating new concepts or unique events like #Hyrox or #CrossFitgames. We even see traditional races coming up with new ideas and formats, like the #Supertri or the #Backyards All good for the industry! Keep them coming and try to come up with new things, your customers will love it! It is the right moment! 😎 😆 In any case, I didn't know about this one, and as a runner, I'd love to attend! Of course! "birds of a feather flock together!" Don't we? In the article from Athletech News (link below), there is an interesting question regarding our industry. I fully agree with Jesse Itzler here! ATN: Where do you see the fitness and wellness industry heading over the next few years? JI: People are craving community, and people are craving making themselves better in all areas of their lives. People still may like to sit on the beach, but there’s a massive transition into an experience economy. I think that’s starting to hit health and wellness now. You’re starting to see adventure races, you’re starting to see people traveling to destinations for races and you’re starting to see people going away to spas in really exotic places. Runningman is doing that for health, wellness and running – a lot of people leave having done things they’ve never done before.  I think that’s the direction the whole industry is heading, being really experience-driven.

Here are some key considerations when building your dream home gym: BudgetPlanning Determine your overall budget for the home gym setup, including the space, equipment, and any necessary renovations or construction. Factor in recurring costs like utilities, maintenance, and potential upgrades over time. Research pricing for the equipment and gym flooring to get a realistic estimate. RoomSize & Layout Measure the available space and plan the gym layout efficiently. Consider ceiling height, doorways, and other structural elements that may impact equipment placement. Leave enough room for proper movement and circulation around the equipment. EssentialEquipment Identify your fitness goals and training needs to select the right equipment. Common home gym essentials include adjustable weights, resistance bands, squat racks, treadmills, exercise bikes, and yoga mats. Evaluate the size, weight capacity, and storage requirements of each piece of equipment. OptionalAdditions Incorporate functional training tools like kettlebells, medicine balls, and plyo boxes. Include storage solutions, such as shelves or racks, to keep the space organized. Consider adding audio/visual equipment for entertainment and virtual training sessions. VentilationAndClimate Ensure proper ventilation and temperature control for a comfortable workout environment. Evaluate the need for fans, air conditioning, or dehumidifiers based on your local climate. SafetyAndAccessibility Plan for safety features like rubber flooring, wall-mounted equipment, and emergency shut-off switches.

🤸🌳 Leisure Centres Aim to Combat Falls in Activity Levels When the days get shorter and the weather turns colder, staying active can feel like a challenge! This Girl Can have recently launched a timely campaign called Lift The Curfew. This campaign demands change when it comes to women’s safety when exercising at night. We know that in winter, some people may change their routines because they don’t like the cold, but did you know that 72% of women in the UK adjust their outdoor exercise schedules as the days get shorter because they are wary of being outside alone after dark? With studies showing that winter can lead to reduced exercise, especially among adults and particularly woman, leisure centres offer a variety of indoor fitness options, including low-impact classes, swimming sessions and resistance training to encourage physical activity in a warm, welcoming environment.
