South Oxhey Leisure Centre set for £400,000 gym upgrade

South Oxhey Leisure Centre in Watford is set for a major transformation of its fitness offer this winter.

A £400,000 investment will see the gym being refurbished and equipped with a full range of new Life Fitness machines, including treadmills, cross trainers and bikes, as well as pin- and plate-loaded strength machines, dumbbells, Smith machines and squat racks. A range of Theraguns will also be added to support muscle recovery.

Accessibility is a key focus, with the addition of three new wheelchair-accessible strength machines – a chest press, seated row and shoulder press – and a Ski Erg with a wide base and extended handles to ensure wheelchair users can train with confidence.

Alongside the new equipment, the entire area will receive a full makeover with modern flooring, lighting and décor to create a brighter environment.
