Work on the new gym started on Monday 13 October.

Two changing rooms at the east end of the building are being remodelled to form the space to accommodate the new gym, and the first task was to remove the internal walls separating the changing rooms and showers to create an open space ahead of fitting out

Internal walls removed, a good sized space for gym equipment is starting to emerge

We are hopeful that construction work will be complete inside 3 weeks, once that has happened the empty gym can be fitted with equipment and opened. Once we have a firm opening date monthly and annual gym memberships will be available.

Otterburn Gym will open at the Otterburn RTC in November 2014
