Went to the building today to take some photos for the owner to update those interested on the work being carried out and the general progress. Lots of work to be done, walls ripped out rooms built etc.

Will update with some pictures later. This is going to be one big gym, easily the biggest in Stafford from what I've viewed so far.

Looking on the Lifestyle Fitness website, it shows that a new club is opening in Stoke in December but doesnt mention any Stafford site? ;

its a different gym from the one above, this is a family run business.

This just a gym ... or a gym/pool/sauna/exercise rooms etc.
Gym, floor dedicated to weight equipment, another to Cardio and a Women's area. There's also plans in place for classes etc.

There will be no pool, but I'll ask in regards to the sauna. I'll dig out the floor plans to show everyone along with the progress photos.

Er? Elaborate?
some gym's have a women's area where it's ladies only. Gym & Tonic have a side room where women can work out in private........guess it's an assumption that some women are uncomfortable in public or men ogle? ......And Men aren't on the receiveing end of either?
I look forward to seeing what the new place offers. My membership of Gym & Tonic runs out in December and I'm open to offers as I've put weight on following an injury and dedicating a lot of time to a sick Dad.

Better be careful where you park, isn't that where the wardens have their lair ?
Sometimes you get some parking from Rangers fans, but that won't happen too many times, in a season! but if it does, the wardens will be out, ;) and I presume the gym must have dedicated parking!

yeah as mentioned, some gyms have a women's only section of the gym, a more private area.

this is also true but lucky for us they don't roam home ground. Not to mention the fact there are no double lines, or clamping issues in the area. :) Plenty of free parking.

I see. Seems as though that sort of division might make women feel even less comfortable on the weights floor, but perhaps not - depending on what equipment you have there - What is in the women's area and how big is it?

Its a big gym in comparison to most gyms in stafford, you can get an idea from the photos. As for the size of the women's area I couldn't really say. I'll Share some photos with you that should help shed some light.


Changing rooms area. Walls getting ripped out to further extend.


Main Hall, all the weight machines. Rooms at bottom Pulled out.


Rooms knocked out on the ground floor to expand the main hall. Upper floor walling removed for Safety railing/viewing point.


Cardio Area. Located on second floor of the above picture. I believe underneath this section will also be cardio.


Cardio Area. Different Angle.


Potential Women's area/Classes Again. walls will be removed and room expanded.

I'll try take some with people in the rooms next time when I update the photo progress. This will hopefully give some perspective of the room sizes. The place really is big, obviously there's a lot of work and decorating to be done, I'll update you along the way.

My membership at the leisure centre must be close to expiring by now and I can see this one from my desk at work. Will have to give it a go if the price is right :)

Yes, but what equipment will be in the women's area? Just cardio machines? Or will there be mats/weights/kettle bells etc? Looks like it's going to be nice and large.

Quick update on the work being done, with some photos. The "womens area" will now be used for classes/studio area.









As you can see the heavy work has started, with walls being torn out. Will keep you updated.
