£400,000 gym opens at The Spa at Beckenham

The Spa at Beckenham in Bromley, South London, has benefitted from a £400,000 facelift as part of a long-term, multi-phase investment plan by Mytime Active. The venue, which includes a swimming pool, gym and multi-purpose sports hall, is owned by Bromley Council and managed by Mytime Active.

The main gym floor has been completely revamped and fitted with new fitness equipment.

As part of the detailed planning behind the refurbishment, Mytime Active has designed a safe, natural journey around the gym for both new and experienced users, creating a series of zones using different coloured lighting to help vary the experience by changing the atmosphere. The areas naturally flow through:

l Health-orientated training (light blue lighting)

l Fixed resistance equipment (green lighting)

l Cardiovascular equipment (purple lighting)

l l l eGym specialist strengthening and toning equipment (orange lighting) Functional training (red lighting) Free weights (dark blue lighting) Darren Anderson, Mytime Active’s Principal Fitness and Wellbeing Manager, said: “We very carefully considered the new layout to minimiseany ‘gym intimidation’, putting equipment to help our Fresh Start members, those who may be new to exercise, recovering from illness or living with a long-term medical condition, as well as our GP referral customers and less confident gym users, near to the entrance.”
