Plymouth Active Leisure is to launch its brand-new refurbished gym in December 2024. The new facility will offer a modern, user-friendly workout environment that caters to all fitness levels. This significant investment is part of Plymouth Active’s ongoing commitment to providing the community with the best fitness experience possible.
This investment in fitness equipment reflects Plymouth Active Leisure’s mission to improve the health and well-being of local residents by making fitness more accessible, enjoyable, and effective. Along with the gym refurbishment; Plymouth Active have successfully developed a comprehensive active health programme that is supported and recognised by local health improvement services including social prescribing teams. The programme is designed to help in-active people suffering with long-term health conditions or those recovering from an operation or who would benefit from being more active.
All current members of Plymouth Active Leisure will be contacted this week on details of the temporary arrangements for the gym whilst the refurbishment and change of equipment takes place between 21st and 29th November, we encourage all members and guests of the gym to download the Plymouth Active App for the latest news. During this period, all other activities at the Plymouth Life Centre will continue as normal. This includes access to the Swimming Pool, Sports Hall, Climbing, Bowls, and Fitness Classes.
Rhys Jones, Chief Operating Officer for Plymouth Active Leisure said “Plymouth Active provides quality facilities for all residents to access to improve their health, fitness and wellbeing.

These brands are known for their innovation and user-focused designs, and we are excited to offer a world class, modern, gym experience that meets the evolving needs of our members.”
The Plymouth Life Centre and Plymouth Active Leisure are owned by Plymouth City Council. Councillor Sue Dann, Cabinet member with responsibility for customer service, sport and leisure, said: “The refurbishment of the Plymouth Life Centre gym will make it one of the best in the South West and make a big difference to customers.
