💪 40 years of membership. One big refurbishment. A gym that keeps evolving!
Westway Portobello Fitness Club has officially unveiled its £395,000 refurbishment, with a very special person cutting the ribbon: local member Christina Sesay, who first joined the gym back in 1986! 🎉
Four decades later, Christina is still a regular, often visiting twice a day for gym sessions and Zumba classes. And she’s seen plenty of changes along the way.
The latest investment has transformed the gym floor, introducing more strength and functional training equipment, a dedicated recovery area and a refreshed look throughout.
Here’s what’s new:
🏋️ Strength equipment increased by 10%, from 40 to 44 pieces
💪 New Life Fitness and Hammer Strength equipment
🔄 A more open, spacious gym layout
💆 A dedicated recovery area featuring Theragun massage guns
✨ Refreshed spaces for members to enjoy
But for Christina, it’s about more than the equipment. It’s the welcoming community that has kept her coming back for 40 years.
💬 “What I love most is the wonderful mix of members; people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and mostly locals, which gives it such a welcoming community feel.”
With more than 2,200 members, Westway Portobello continues to play an important role in its local community, and this investment will help it support members for years to come.
A huge thank you to Christina for helping us celebrate this exciting new chapter, and to everyone involved in bringing the refurbishment to life 💙👏
