Towcester Centre for Leisure Gym Extension

What is the scale of the works and improvements to the fitness facilities?

The works will involve the extension of the current gym into the existing studio +. The extension will provide additional new fitness stations and free weight space, increasing the overall capacity of the gym. 

Beyond simply adding more equipment, this expansion also presents an opportunity to redesign the existing fitness space. The aim is to create a more user-friendly layout, optimise traffic flow, and implement designated zones within the fitness area to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of our valued customers.

We will also be improving the existing indoor cycling studio and creating a multi purpose studio space that offers much more than just indoor cycling, this studio will offer the fantastic classes that previously took place in Studio+  such as Yoga, Pilates etc. This will mean even more members will be able to benefit from these classes. 

What facilities will be closed/remain open?

The Gym will remain open during the works, there will be minimal disruption for a day whilst hoarding is erected in a small section of the functional space on the right hand side as you enter the gym.

Studio + will permanently close on the week commencing October 20th. However, the Indoor Cycling Studio will continue to operate with an updated timetable. This will change to a multi-use studio from W/C 10th November 2025. 

The Swimming Pools, Changing Village, Sports Hall will be completely unaffected and will remain open as usual. We will be working with a revised group exercise timetable which is under constant review.

Please check our website or LeisureCentre app for future changes.

What will happen with memberships during this time?

Fitness Memberships and Swim Memberships will continue as usual with no changes. However, all members will have the option to utilise the facilities at Brackley Leisure Centre. 

Swim members will also be given the opportunity to benefit from the newly refurbished fitness facilities by upgrading their membership.

If you have any further questions you can speak to the membership team at the centre.
