A NEW chapter is about to begin for Deeside Leisure Centre with preparations well underway for the reopening of its gym and spa after months out of action.

Deeside Gym’s fitness provision is due to be even more dynamic and cutting edge with the creation of functional training zones and an extended studio cycling offer.

Aura Wales, which manages the facility, has invested significantly in new state of the art functional training equipment, a 15m track and the latest bike technology.

The more relaxed environment of Afon Spa also looks forward to welcoming back customers and offering a variety of rejuvenating beauty and body treatments.

The contract for the repurposing of Deeside Leisure Centre from site’s recent use as a Rainbow Hospital back to its original purpose began on July 19 and will be completed in a phased manner.

The initial phase, which includes the ground floor reception, foyer, first floor and second floor, together with access to the outdoor 3G pitches, is scheduled for completion at the end of August.

This will allow for the reopening of some facilities in September including the gym, spa and 3G pitches. Other facilities, including the Sports Hall and Skate Park, are scheduled to return later in autumn.

The focus of the second phase is the Ice Rink, with work for its return commencing upon the end of the mass vaccination programme which will run until March 2022.

With the reopening just around the corner, Yen Leung, Deeside Leisure Centre’s Spa and Fitness Officer, shared her excitement on behalf of the whole team.

She said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be back, and so excited for customers to see our new, fresh look gym.

“We are grateful that the leisure centre has been able to play its part in keeping the community safe during this very unexpected year.

“It is now time for us to focus on doing what we do best: keeping the community healthy and active, and helping our members achieve amazing fitness goals. We’ve got some fantastic promotions coming up so keep your eyes peeled!

“Most importantly, we would like to thank all our wonderful members, and the community as a whole, for their continued support. We can’t wait to see you all again very soon - watch this space!”

Now, more than ever, health and well-being is of huge importance and Deeside Gym and Spa hope to play a crucial part in supporting the community to keep active, reach new fitness goals, and most importantly, prioritise well-being.

Updates, sneak peeks, and news about Deeside gym and spa will be posted via Aura’s website and social media platforms.
