Exciting Improvements Coming to Your Gym!

Dear Member/User,

We are delighted to let you know that a major upgrade to your gym is taking place this October, bringing an improved look, enhanced training spaces, and brand-new equipment to help you get even more from your workouts.

The Project:

• Refreshing/upgrading wall finishes, flooring and décor.
• The main £150k+ element of this project is the full replacement of the Resistance Machines with the ‘Insignia Range’ from our selected partners...Life Fitness.  One of the world's leading suppliers of commercial gym equipment.
• Investment in new Free Weights based strength equipment, including a Belt Squat, Pro-Chest Press, and a replacement Cable Crossover machine.

Here's some of the new equipment:

The main project element will take place from Monday 19th October to Friday 23rd October 2026.

For these five days, the far end Functional Area, raised Main-Cardio Area, Resistance Side-Areas, and Fitness Studio will be temporarily closed.

The Free Weights Area and Spinning Studio will remain open.

Unfortunately we will need to amend the Fitness Class timetable during the above dates.  The timetable for W/C 19 October 2026 will be available online / app.

We sincerely appreciate your patience while these improvements are carried out and are confident the finished result will be worth the short-term disruption.

Thank you for your continued invaluable support for The Junction and YMCA Bournemouth & Poole.

Regards

Martin Stockley
YMCA Bournemouth Chief Operations Officer
