The gym and group exercise programme at Axminster Leisure Centre is moving to Cloakham Lawn Sports Club.

LED Community Leisure's Health & Wellbeing team are moving to a bigger and more accessible facility.

Refurbishment work to ensure a safe and inclusive environment have already begun with the new facility due to open in January 2023.

LED customers can expect a large, open gym floor space packed with a range of market leading equipment, including cardiovascular equipment ranging from treadmills, exercise bikes, rowing machines and weights.

LED’s Health & Wellbeing team will continue to offer LED’s gym journey, nutrition consultations, personal training and Health Referral schemes.

Axminster’s new Fitness Hub will also feature a bespoke cycling studio along with a large studio for group exercise classes ranging from Circuits to Yoga, along with virtual classes to complement our comprehensive live programme.

Customers will benefit from free parking and unrestricted access during opening hours.

LED’s sports hall and 3G football pitch activities and bookings will continue unaffected by the move of the fitness programme.

Peter Gilpin, Chief Executive Officer for LED Community Leisure, said: “Axminster is a growing town and we have been aware for some time that our limited gym offer at Axe Valley Academy has been struggling to meet the demands and expectations of our members and the local community. The new partnership with Cloakham Lawn Sports Club will provide a significantly improved fitness offer, which we both hope over time to see evolve into a comprehensive sports, health and wellbeing community hub.”

Simon Flint, Chairman of Cloakham Lawn Sports Club, said: “All of our trustees are fully behind the project and are looking forward to Cloakham Lawn & Sports Club being used by the community again. We are also looking forward to working with LED.”
