Great Harwood: New Ladies Only Gym opens at Mercer Hall

Local women are invited along to check out a brand new, ladies only, toning and cardiovascular fitness suite in Great Harwood this weekend.


The Feelgood Suite, at Mercer Hall Leisure Centre, threw open its doors to women on Saturday 19th March and this new facility offers a new kind of workout, using power assisted exercise equipment, rather than resistance based equipment. It’s great for those wanting to get fit, tone up and generally improve their health and is suitable for many people with conditions such as MS, fibromyalgia, stroke, back pain, ME, arthritis, joint replacements and many others.

Cabinet member for Leisure, Cllr Ken Moss, said, "The new Ladies Only Gym not only makes use of empty space at Mercer Hall but also offers some really great workout facilities in private rooms. It's great to offer more to the public and it helps keep the leisure centre financially viable for the future."




Great Harwood Councillor, Cllr Jenny Nedwell, said; "Residents have been telling us for a while that they’d like to see a good ladies only fitness suite locally, so please come along to see for yourself these fabulous new facilities, which offer a new kind of workout in a relaxed atmosphere.”

Cllr Bernadette Parkinson, said, "I'd urge all women who are thinking about starting to exercise to come and have a look at these excellent facilities in Great Harwood. When you walk in, the first thing you will notice is the friendly atmosphere. It’s nothing like any traditional gym I've ever attended, which is why it is perfect for women looking for something different and those who want to train in a ladies only environment."

The Feelgood Suite at Mercer Hall Leisure Centre Open Day starts at 9am on Saturday 19th March. There's no need to book, just come along and have a look at the new facilities. For more information call 01254 885 607.
