LIDO FITNESS CENTRE OPENS
Brockwell Lido opens new Fitness and Wellbeing Centre
The new Fitness and Wellbeing Centre opens at Brockwell Lido on Monday 17 September following a year of building work to extend the original art deco building. The centre has been designed to include a 100 station gym with the latest equipment, a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room and studios.
The opening of the centre marks the second stage in the revamp of Brockwell Lido, which has been undergoing substantial refurbishment work as part of a £3 million improvement plan since Lambeth Council appointed Fusion Leisure to manager the facility. Renovation of the Lido buildings and the pool surrounds was completed earlier this year, restoring it back to its 1930s former glory.
The interior has been designed to make the most of the centre's location in Brockwell Park and next to the Lido. Set out as a series of interlinked spaces the framed glimpses of the Lido pool and the park make it an oasis of calm. The gym is laid out to provide individual pockets of privacy for people who are new to training and allows private individual attention from the instructors.
The studios were designed for both contemplative classes and high energy aerobics, and a programme of yoga, pilates and tai chi is available. The spa is the ultimate relaxation experience and is designed to indulge, allowing people to dwell between each cabin and be massaged from head to toe by therapeutic neck and body jets in the hydrotherapy pool.
The new facilities are open to membership or day users and will provide both an income stream to support the 14 week Lido season and a sustainable future for the pool. Founder members joining in September will be able to take advantage of a no joining fee offer and a free gym bag.* The Fitness and Wellbeing Centre opens Monday 17 September but preview tours will be available Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 September as part of Open House weekend.
