A £200,000 improvement project spanning two years at Grangemouth Sports Complex has been completed.
Work began in January 2024, with new flooring installed in the main gym. This was followed by the replacement and upgrade of a range of cardio equipment.
Grangemouth Sports Complex was only the second venue in the UK to install this new range of equipment including treadmills, stair climbers, cross trainers, bikes, adaptive motion trainers, rowers, and skiing machines.
All machines are fitted with new consoles that allow users to cast content directly from their smartphones, making it easier to access music, video, or fitness apps during a workout.
A new functional flooring area has also been added in the corner of the gym and provides a matted space designed for exercises that use body weight or small gym tools such as medicine balls.
The reception area has also been redesigned, whilst the male changing room has been refurbished, pool plant upgraded, martial arts zones introduced, repairs to vinyl flooring, poolside LED lighting installed, and new external bike storage spaces.
The on-site café has benefited from a £50,000 investment with upgrades to the café counter and serving area and two new coffee machines installed.
Councillor Paul Garner, depute leader of Falkirk Council, said, “The improvements reflect the council’s ongoing commitment to maintaining high-quality, accessible fitness and leisure facilities for the local community. By balancing rental and purchase decisions, the complex has been able to make targeted upgrades that improve the customer experience while working within budget. We hope users will enjoy the new facilities and the improvement work to the complex itself.”
