Rochdale Leisure Centre Gym Refurbishment

In April 2023, the gym at Rochdale Leisure Centre will undergo a gym refurbishment bringing you a range of new equipment, a new layout and redecoration.

As a charity, we re-invest in the borough to support the local community to live active, happy and healthy lives and this £430,000 investment into the gym will bring the latest equipment suitable for all levels of fitness.

Alongside new cardio equipment (treadmills, rowing machines, bikes and cross-trainers), the refurbished gym will include new free weights, strength and conditioning and functional training kit.
