China Fleet Country Club completes major gym refurbishment
16th July 2018
A new, state-of-the-art gym has just opened at China Fleet Country Club in Saltash, Cornwall, as part of its £2.5m refurbishment, featuring some of the world’s most highly sought-after equipment and very latest in fitness and lifestyle technology.
The £200,000 gym refurbishment features revolutionary technology and equipment from the top international brands; Life Fitness, Technogym and Concept 2.
“The changes have totally transformed our gym,” says Dean Bennett MD and we are so proud to be able to bring world-class fitness equipment to China Fleet, in Saltash.”
The changes include replacing all of the gym’s cardiovascular equipment with some of the leading brands globally. From new treadmills, bicycles and cross-trainers to power climbers and rowers, the improvements are set to change the way members train.
“The new equipment really is amazing and already proving popular,” says Dean. “The new bikes are from the premium Elevation Series Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike which feels like pedaling on the open road!“ adds Dean. “The bike is designed to reduce pressure on the knees and provide a comfortable ride, while also keeping exercisers engaged.”
In addition to this, new dumbbells & rack, plates and free weight matting have been installed as well as new décor and flooring. However, one of the most exciting elements of the new gym is how much technology will be available to members.
“Incorporating the very latest technological advances into our gym helps to ensure we remain at the top of our business sector” says Dean. “It also helps inspire and motivate our members with the latest gadgets and fitness tracking apps to support their fitness journeys.”
Included in the changes is the launch of new sophisticated High Definition Screens – the most up to date on the market. The touch screens have internet connectivity, a huge range of channels including BT Sports, Sky Sports and Virtual courses.
“Members can watch Netflix or Youtube, play games or set workouts and fitness tests and link to their mobile phone and tablet,” adds Dean. “Through apps or via Bluetooth, members will be able to track their exercises and seamlessly link into our exclusive HALO fitness management app. With Halo, exercisers are guided throughout their fitness journey using the Halo Fitness Cloud. They'll get personalized recommendations on the best apps or wearables to use to reach their goals, create workouts, track goals, schedule fitness classes and communicate with their trainer.
"Also helping them on their fitness journey is our Boditrax equipment which offers precision body composition and cellular monitoring, measuring weight, segmental muscle and fat, total, intra and extra cellular fluids, skeletal and abdominal cavity analysis, metabolic efficiency, metabolic age and cellular performance."
The China Fleet has undergone a series of major refurbishments over the past 5 years, including new 4* self catering accommodation and a £1m Aqua Spa, the gym is now the latest to get major investment.
“The exciting, new-look gym will greatly enhance the Club,” adds Dean. “We are committed to bringing the very best equipment and facilities to Devon and Cornwall. We are passionate about helping members of all ages and abilities to achieve their fitness, health and wellbeing goals. We invest into the Club so our members can invest in their health.”
