A former library will be turned into a community gym aiming to boost people’s mental health.
The empty building, on High Street in Stanley, County Durham, will become home to the The Wolf Den – Gym & Fitness after proposals were approved.
It has permission to be open from Monday to Saturday and will run gym sessions and classes including boxing, yoga and Pilates.
According to the planning statement, the main focus of the facility would be to “help men, women, boys and girls” to improve their mental and physical health.
