Fife Sports and Leisure Trust are welcoming customers into a transformed gym space at Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre following a £500,000 investment that has significantly expanded the gym floor and introduced a dedicated strength and conditioning area. The upgrade marks an important step in enhancing the venue’s fitness offer, reflecting growing demand for modern, flexible training environments.

Completed over several weeks, the refurbishment has created a more open and energising layout designed to support a wide range of fitness goals. The upgraded gym features premium Life Fitness cardio equipment, a dedicated Hammer Strength area (known globally for its performance-focused, plate-loaded equipment), custom Indigo Fitness squat racks, upgraded flooring, and enhanced sound and lighting, delivering a high-quality training environment for both everyday gym users and performance-focused members.

Fraser MacKenzie, Head of Sales and Commercial Development at Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said:

“This upgrade is about much more than new equipment. It’s about creating a modern, welcoming fitness space that people feel excited to use and proud to be part of. The expanded gym floor and new strength and conditioning area give customers more freedom, more choice, and a better overall experience, while maintaining the strong community feel that Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre is known for.”

Throughout the refurbishment period, a temporary gym space enabled customers to continue their fitness routines. Staff are now looking forward to welcoming members into the upgraded facility and supporting them as they make the most of the new layout. The investment reinforces Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre’s role as a vibrant community hub, offering inclusive, high-quality facilities where people of all ages and abilities feel supported, motivated, and confident to be active.

This project reflects Fife Sports and Leisure Trust’s ongoing commitment to investing in modern, welcoming fitness environments that meet customer needs and encourage long-term participation in physical activity.
