Cowdenbeath Gym – Bigger, Better, Stronger
The wait is nearly over! After a year-long transformation, Cowdenbeath Leisure Centre is reopening on 29th September 2025 with a fully refreshed gym! Keep reading to find out what’s new…
Hammer Strength – First in Fife
Hammer Strength is a name trusted by elite athletes and sports teams worldwide, known for its durability, performance, and focus on strength training. And now, for the first time, you’ll be able to experience it right here in Fife!
Cowdenbeath’s gym has been kitted out with over 15 brand-new pieces of Hammer Strength equipment. Whether you’re lifting heavy, building strength, or just getting started, you’ll find the tools to train with confidence.
More Equipment, More Choice
It’s not just strength training that’s had an upgrade. The new gym now offers:
- A dedicated strength and conditioning zone.
- Plate-loaded machines and custom Indigo Fitness squat racks.
- Cardio favourites including treadmills, cross-trainers, upright bikes and stair climbers from Life Fitness.
- A brand-new fitness studio and expanded fitness programme for even more variety in your training.
With more space, more kit, and more choice, there’s something for everyone, whether your “thing” is lifting, pulling, pressing, squatting or running!
Track Your Progress with InBody
One of the most exciting new features at Cowdenbeath is the InBody 270. This professional-grade composition scan gives you a detailed picture of what’s really happening inside your body (including stats like muscle mass, body fat, and water balance) so you can see progress that the scales alone don’t show.
Paired with InGrip strength testing, you’ll be able to measure how your strength improves over time and set realistic goals based on your results. Together, these tools make it easier to personalise your training, celebrate your wins, and stay motivated on your fitness journey.
Best of all, the process only takes a few minutes and gives you insights you can use straight away. Our instructors will be on hand to guide you through a consultation, help you process the data, and set personal goals tailored to you, so you’ll always know how to get the best out of your training.
Meet the Team
At Cowdenbeath, you’ll find a dedicated team of instructors and fitness professionals ready to support you every step of the way. From showing you how to get the most out of the new equipment to helping you set realistic goals, they’re here to make sure your fitness journey is safe, fun, and rewarding.
