The equipment is accredited under the Inclusive Fitness Initiative, which ensures individuals of all ages and abilities can get involved.

Those visiting the fitness suite will be able to connect to digital entertainment services and on-demand training sessions.

Councillor Cooper concluded: "We have seen countless lives transformed through the use of our leisure facilities over the years. I am delighted to officially open this new fitness suite, as it serves as a great way to mark the centre's 50th year."

Further investments are currently underway, with a £1.5 million investment being allocated to improve two fitness studios, the athletics track, the swimming pool and its changing area.
