We are delighted to share news of another significant investment into the fitness facilities at Southwell Leisure Centre where we will be investing well over £50,000 to create a dedicated indoor cycle studio.
The room currently used for indoor cycling will be completely renovated with new flooring, decor and window vinyls.
Furthermore, a cutting-edge audio visual system will be installed with much improved acoustics and ‘music reactive’ LED colour changing lighting.
Along with the bikes, these building upgrades will provide the atmosphere and motivation you need for indoor cycling.
Yes! We’ve ordered top-of-the-range ICG bikes from our long-term fitness supplier Life Fitness.
The new IC6 indoor cycles have magnetic resistance and are belt driven for extremely smooth operation. They also have a built-in power meter to allow members to track their effort during each class and work to prescribed effort levels set by the instructor during specifically programmed sessions - called “Coach by Colour”.
ICG Coach by Colour® is an immersive, high-energy indoor cycling class that uses five distinct color zones - white, blue, green, yellow and red - to personalise your ride and optimise your results. Before you start, the bike estimates your individual fitness level, or you can input your own fitness level (FTP) if you know it. Then, when cycling, your instructor can set a target zone or colour, so you ride at an intensity tailored specifically to you. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned athlete, everyone in the room achieves the same training goals together in a supportive, easy-to-follow group atmosphere.
The project key milestones are as follows:
Thursday 22 October - Build works commence and so the studio is closed and all cycle classes cancelled from this date.
Thursday 5 November - Build works complete and new ICG bikes delivered. The new studio opens on this evening with the first class of a new timetable.
Yes! We will do everything possible to reduce disruption during the build works. The cycle studio will be completely closed but all other areas of the Centre should remain unaffected.
Group Exercise instructors will be able to support you with the use of the new bikes before your first class.
We will send out emails with full details, notification via the Leisure Centre mobile app and provide updates on our social media channels.
This FAQ’s page will also be kept up to date throughout the project in the lead up to the project and throughout.
There will be no changes to your existing membership. All memberships will be unaffected by this project and payments will continue as per normal.
