Improved Spa promises health for all
A 1 3m make over for the Spa at Beckenham leisure centre designed to offer more sports and health opportunities for local residents is nearing completion.
Funded by Bromley Council and surpluses generated through charitable leisure trust,
Bromley Mytime, new improvements include a new active lifestyle gym, new buzz zone children’s play centre and new exercise studios. The gym is already open and other improvements are to be finished soon.
The improvements mean more activities for everyone to choose from in new and improved exercise studios with sprung floors, mood enhanced lighting and integrated sound systems. Residents will be able to choose from a wide range of activities including yoga, pilates, dance, aerobics and aqua aerobics, and ante-natal classes. Gym users will get easier access to a wider range of equipment, new exercise stations and a spin studio. The new gym will have improved air con to improve comfort levels, and state of the art audio visual entertainment screens.
Councillor Colin Smith, Executive Councillor for Environment and Leisure said, “If you haven’t visited the Spa for a little while, you might want to take the opportunity to see the improvements that have been made. The Council has invested a significant amount of money in partnership with Bromley Mytime to improve these leisure facilities and the results are obviously a welcome improvement to the leisure facilities in Beckenham. This is a further demonstration of both the Council and Bromley Mytime's commitment to making 'Healthier Lifestyle' options available to all Bromley residents."
The new look Spa is designed to help young people stay fit and healthy, and also appeal to older and non-active people, who are encouraged in through Primetime activities for 60+, or referred or recommended to exercise through their GP – for non-active people the new gym is designed to accommodate first timers as well as experienced fitness users.
Children and families are not forgotten, with a brand new buzz zone; space themed climbing and adventure play frame; party rooms; and a café for parents and carers. A crèche and toddler areas cater for very young children and there are hundreds of classes and activities for children and teenagers both in the holidays and term times.
Steve Price, Bromley Mytime’s Chief Executive said, “The new Spa is for everyone from the very young to our senior Primetimers and we want people to feel welcome to come along and enjoy a more active and healthy lifestyle. Our customers have been saying for some time they needed better quality and more family and health related activities and they’re already telling us how much they like the new improvements.”
