Designed and installed by Gym Gear, the six-figure investment in the two story gym includes new cardio and resistance equipment, a functional area with a sled track as well as a free weight area. The floor-to-ceiling refurbishment of the 5,200sq ft gym was completed in just four days.

“As a not-for-profit organisation, everything we do is for the benefit of the wider community of Knowsley and we are thrilled that this gym really does have something for everyone,” said Kevin Schofield, managing director at Volair.

“We are seeing considerable growth in the area, with the regeneration of Kirkby town centre and as the new Volair gym is located in the heart of the town, we felt, as a business, that now is the right time to regenerate the gym and provide a special experience for all of our members.”

Volair was formed in 2016, is a council-owned and controlled company and operates 11 sites which include five Centres for Learning.
