Fitness Quarter will be taking over from Simply Gym, which closed in April 2024.
Dominic, added: “The Centre has become embedded in the local community, so when I saw the closure of Simply Gym and the hole it left, I knew I had to fill it.
“Local Cllr Helen Gunter says she was disappointed to hear of the news of the Gym closing in April but is pleased to hear of the new opening and the opportunities it will provide for the local community.

The Fitness Quarter will be reopening the gym facility (formerly, Simply Gym), fully equipped with fixed resistance, cardio and free weight machines, tailored classes, and sauna facilities.
There will also be a dedicated ‘ladies-only’ section of the gym.
