RYAN REYNOLDS has showcased Wrexham AFC's new gym facilities. 

In a tweet, he said "I love a good before and after" - accompanied with a clip from Welcome to Wrexham whereby him and Rob McElhenney were shown the club's depleted gym facilities after they had just taken over.

In the clip, Rob says "this needs some work" - before the new facilities are showcased. 

The new facility will see players and the medical department benefit from the use of a new purpose-built, state-of-the-art, 160sqm performance facility.

The new performance facility features elite performance equipment from Life Fitness and Hammer Strength. From the outset of the project, the Life Fitness team has worked closely with the club and its performance team to deliver this project.

The new facilities required a specialist floor installation which consisted of artificial turf and shock absorption flooring allowing the facility to be used for rehabilitation alongside strength and conditioning sessions.

Located in the Wrexham Lager Stand, the performance gym is within easy access of the home changing rooms. As identified early after the takeover, the club’s existing gym facilities needed a big upgrade to match the on-field ambitions.

The Leader:

The performance gym will enhance the facilities available to the club’s Medical and Performance departments, and will be instrumental in providing players with elite level recovery, strength and conditioning, and rehabilitation equipment.

The Leader:

Wrexham AFC CEO Fleur Robinson said: “We are delighted to have been able to complete the building of the new gym at the Racecourse Ground.

“As was picked up by the Welcome to Wrexham cameras, the existing gym facility was ripe for a big upgrade and this is another strong statement of our intention to build the club up both on the pitch and off it, in line with the co-chairmen’s Mission Statement.

“We would like to place on record our grateful thanks to Life Fitness for working with the club to provide their state-of-the-art equipment for our use.

“We would also like to thank building contractor, UK Engineering, who have helped us realise our ambition of continuously improving the Racecourse Ground.

“This will make a big difference to the recovery, strength and conditioning and rehabilitation of our players and further boost our promotion challenge.”
