Fantastic new fitness suite for Wildern
Even more facilities to help keep the local community fit and active
The recently refurbished Wildern Leisure Centre in Hedge End has been officially reopened and now offers even more facilities to help keep the local community fit and active.
The centre has been further improved with the opening this week of a new mezzanine floor to house additional fitness equipment and a larger stretch and functional area. The increased capacity will allow more residents to access the fitness facilities. Wildern welcomes both casual users and new members.
The gym is equipped with the latest Inspace equipment, designed to make workouts engaging, enjoyable and productive, with a range of cardio and resistance machines, together with free weights. It offers programmes and support from the in-house fitness team to help users meet their goals in a friendly and welcoming environment.
In 2020, the centre’s swimming pool reopened following a £1.2 million programme of Borough Council-funded improvements.
Councillor Cynthia Garton, Chair of the Hedge End, West End & Botley Local Area Committee, which provided funding, said: “The new mezzanine fitness suite is a fantastic addition to Wildern Leisure Centre, which already offers excellent facilities following its major refurbishment. It will help us meet our key objective of encouraging active lifestyles in the local community for people of all ages and interests.”
