A gym upgrade project, worth more than £400,000, will be unveiled at Hitchin Swimming and Fitness Centre before Christmas, more than six months ahead of schedule.
The work, initially scheduled for summer 2025, is part of a series of improvements to North Herts leisure facilities, led by Everyone Active in partnership with North Herts Council.
The refurbishment follows other work at Hitchin Swimming and Fitness Centre which has just taken place, including Everyone Active’s first Reformer studio and a brand-new spin studio, alongside the refurbishment of two existing studios.
The gym upgrade in December, with exact dates to be confirmed, will transform the existing gym and introduce new state-of-the-art strength and cardio equipment to the local community.
Inspiring new décor, lighting and flooring will also be added, to ensure visitors remain motivated during the winter months and January fitness surge.
In addition, at yesterday evening’s Full Council meeting, North Herts Council confirmed it was also making an investment into the centre, which will see the refurbishment of Hitchin’s member change and wellness area. Timings will be announced in due course.
Chris Williams, Contract Manager at Everyone Active, said, "We are thrilled that our next project to transform our member’s experience will be commencing ahead of schedule, building on the momentum of our recent improvements at Hitchin Swimming and Fitness Centre.
“This accelerated timeline means our members can enjoy a completely transformed workout space sooner than anticipated. The investment marks another significant step forward for the district’s leisure facilities, and we hope that the transformed workout space ensures our local community continue to feel inspired and supported throughout their fitness and wellness journey with us.”
Sarah Kingsley, Service Director – Place, said “We’re really pleased to be improving the facilities at Hitchin even sooner than planned. This upgrade shows how committed we are to giving local residents the best possible experience when they visit the centre. We hope these changes encourage even more people to enjoy staying active and make use of everything the centre has to offer.”
