While 95% of the equipment is now in place, work will continue installing the final few pieces of kit and on refreshing the space further over the next few days. We are also waiting on works to support the equipment connectivity to the Technogym App which will be completed at a later date. Finally, we will be rolling out new improvements and working with our customers over the next few months on how the design of the space should evolve. More details on this to follow.

 


So, what can you expect?

Technogym have completed the installation of a full range of new cardiovascular, resistance and free-weight equipment alongside a range of accessories such as dumbbells, plates, and bars.
Our aim was to create fitness spaces that better support our members and their goals, and give you an even better place to train, move and look after your wellbeing.

The Studio will also feature 16 new stationary Group Exercise Cycles, allowing us to introduce interactive Technogym Ride classes to the Autumn Term timetable.

Why did we do this work?

Our gym and fitness spaces have been working hard for our members, and we know they’ve been pushed to their limits. This significant refurbishment is an exciting opportunity to give these spaces the upgrade they deserve, creating a refreshed environment with new gym equipment, improved fitness facilities and enhanced services for you to enjoy.

We’re also pleased to confirm our new partnership with Technogym, a global leader in fitness and wellness technology. Technogym will help us transform our fitness spaces and Studio classes, bringing together state-of-the-art equipment, training services and digital experiences to create an even better experience for our members.

This is just the beginning…

Over the next 12 months Kent Sport, together with Technogym, will be bringing life to the space with new visuals and design features as well as connectivity to the Technogym App and other digital platforms . Watch this space!
Thank you for being part of Kent Sport – we’re investing in the spaces you use because you’re at the heart of what we do.
