Fancy a workout after your chippy tea or ice cream? A new gym is coming to the Pier Gardens development in Cleethorpes.
With ten different workout stations, there will be plenty to do in the way of exercise when you are visiting this latest feature of the resort. Centred on calisthenics, otherwise known as strength training, the structure focuses on people using their body weight as a form of resistance when carrying out their exercise.
Without the need for expensive or specialist equipment, this accessible gym is something that can be used by anyone and everyone. From pull-ups to press-ups, there are a range of exercises for all abilities, said North East Lincolnshire Council.

Alongside other elements of the scheme, such as skate parks and wooden play structures, the new-look Pier Gardens will be a space for people of all ages to play and enjoy. Aside from a space to play, a major part of the regeneration involves the “CLEETHORPES” letter trail.
As part of the plans, Hemingway Designs has created a concept of sculptures spelling out Cleethorpes, with each letter being placed around the gardens themselves so that people can explore and interact with the area. The scheme of work began earlier this year and is due to be completed in mid-2027.
Funded through the Cleethorpes Levelling Up Fund, the wide-scale regeneration aims to provide a new area for visitors and residents to relax, enjoy and use however they see fit.
With the addition of the gym and wider elements, the space is set to become an integral part of the seaside resort which will be enjoyed by many for years to come.
