From brand-new fitness spaces to expanded health and wellbeing facilities, plus fresh opportunities for children and families, the venue has been reimagined as a vibrant hub for the whole community to enjoy. And with Cowdenbeath Library now moving into the building, you’ll be able to combine fitness, learning, and community in one welcoming space.

Fitness That Pushes Limits

Cowdenbeath is now home to Fife’s very first Hammer Strength Training Centre, a world-renowned strength brand trusted by elite athletes and professional sports teams. Hammer Strength equipment is designed to move the way your body does, giving you more effective workouts whether you’re building strength, improving performance, or just starting your fitness journey.

To help you understand your progress, you’ll also have access to InBody 270 body composition scans and InGrip strength testing, with our instructors on hand to guide you through results and goal setting. 

We’ve also added a brand-new fitness studio, contributing to an expanded timetable of more than 360 weekly fitness classes across our venues. Expect a mix of fan-favourites and exciting new formats, from high-intensity cardio to restorative options, all bookable up to eight days in advance. 

Swimming, Coaching & Community Sport – Something for Everyone

Our refurbished pool, modernised changing village, and upgraded outdoor spaces are ready to welcome you back. Whether you’re learning to swim for the first time, joining a team on the pitch, or enjoying active time with family and friends, there’s something here for everyone. Highlights include:

Health & Wellbeing – Fitness for Body & Mind

Our new spaces aren’t just about fitness, they’re designed to help you move more, recover well, and feel your best every day. Here’s what you can look forward to:
