Michael Woods Gym Upgrade

Thank you for your ongoing support as we prepare for significant investment and improvements within our gym at Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre. We’re delighted to be moving forward with this upgrade, which will create a larger, more modern, and more innovative fitness space for all our customers.

We are currently working closely with our contractors and equipment suppliers to finalise the schedule. While the exact dates are not within our full control, we want to keep you updated as plans progress.

At present, works are expected to begin as early as Monday 10th November 2025, meaning the gym will close from 5pm on Sunday 9th November 2025. The upgrade is expected to continue for several weeks, with the modernised gym reopening on 15th December 2025.

During this period, there may also be some temporary adjustments to the scheduling or location of group fitness classes to accommodate the refurbishment works. We aim to keep any disruptions to a minimum.

From the 12^th November however, we are pleased to offer a temporary reduced gym setup within the venue, making use of Studio 1 and Studio 3. While this will be a more limited offering than usual, our team will ensure these spaces remain welcoming and provide opportunities to support your gym experience throughout the refurbishment.

We would also encourage customers to make the most of our wider network of venues and facilities during the temporary gym works. Club members have access to any Fife Sports and Leisure Trust venue.  You can access our local venue gyms at:

• Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre
• Levenmouth Swimming Pool and Sports Centre
• Bowhill Swimming Pool
• Cowdenbeath Leisure Centre

All of these venues are within a 20-minute drive of Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre.

Facilities and operating hours will vary per venue. You can discover Fife Sports and Leisure Centre opening hours and facilities here https://www.fifeleisure.org.uk/find-your-venue/

This project represents a major investment in your fitness experience. Not only are we expanding our gym footprint into the existing Studio 1 at Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre, but we are also introducing cutting-edge new equipment. Customers can look forward to a greatly enhanced strength and conditioning area with integrated rack systems and Smith machines, alongside the latest cardio machines featuring state-of-the-art interactive displays. We can’t wait for you to see and enjoy the difference.

Our friendly Gym team is on hand throughout the works to answer questions and provide updates. They’ll also be ready to help you settle into the refreshed and modernised gym when we reopen on 15th December.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to deliver a fantastic new gym environment. We’re excited about what’s ahead, and we’re confident you will be too.
