A newly refurbished gym has opened at the Falls Leisure Centre in Belfast.

Following a £200,000 investment, the refurb includes a new 53-station gym with cardiovascular and resistance equipment.

GLL, one of the UK's largest leisure providers, which runs the centre under its brand name Better, has refurbished the gym in partnership with Belfast City Council and the investment marks the first major refurbishment since the centre opened.

Falls Leisure Centre is the third leisure centre to receive a gym refurbishment since January 2015.

Gareth Kirk, Better Regional Director for Belfast, said: "We're thrilled to offer our customers this newly refurbished gym. We're really grateful to the local community who came along to our open day; they were so enthusiastic to test out the new equipment and help us celebrate the centre's tenth anniversary.

"As a social enterprise, Better is committed to providing high quality facilities and service to our customers, by investing in our centres. The response so far has been fantastic and we're already seeing an increase in the number of new faces through our doors, including a 20% rise in pupils on the Better 'Learn to Swim' programme. We welcome everyone to use our leisure centres to get fit, stay healthy and meet new friends."
