๐ช 40 years of membership. One big refurbishment. A gym that keeps evolving!
Westway Portobello Fitness Club has officially unveiled its ยฃ395,000 refurbishment, with a very special person cutting the ribbon: local member Christina Sesay, who first joined the gym back in 1986! ๐
Four decades later, Christina is still a regular, often visiting twice a day for gym sessions and Zumba classes. And sheโs seen plenty of changes along the way.
The latest investment has transformed the gym floor, introducing more strength and functional training equipment, a dedicated recovery area and a refreshed look throughout.
Hereโs whatโs new:
๐๏ธ Strength equipment increased by 10%, from 40 to 44 pieces
๐ช New Life Fitness and Hammer Strength equipment
๐ A more open, spacious gym layout
๐ A dedicated recovery area featuring Theragun massage guns
โจ Refreshed spaces for members to enjoy
But for Christina, itโs about more than the equipment. Itโs the welcoming community that has kept her coming back for 40 years.
๐ฌ โWhat I love most is the wonderful mix of members; people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and mostly locals, which gives it such a welcoming community feel.โ
With more than 2,200 members, Westway Portobello continues to play an important role in its local community, and this investment will help it support members for years to come.
A huge thank you to Christina for helping us celebrate this exciting new chapter, and to everyone involved in bringing the refurbishment to life ๐๐
