The first of two phases of work on the gym will commence on Monday (November 10).
Work will take place in two phases to ensure the gym – located in Peace Prospect, just off Hempstead Road – never has to fully close, with one half shutting at a time.
Phase one will take place between November and January, with the installation of new gym equipment taking place in January.

The new area will open on January 15 and the other half of the gym will close that day.
Work is expected to be complete on February 27, when the whole new-look facility will be open.

Once complete, it will offer a mind and body studio, a multi-purpose fitness studio, and a spin studio featuring 30 Keiser bikes allowing for a wider variety of group exercises.
The main gym will more than double in size from 70 to 120 stations, offering the latest Life Fitness equipment.
Every area “from functional training and free weights to resistance and cardio” is set to be expanded and improved.
The project is funded by Watford Borough Council – contributing up to £2.5 million – and Everyone Active – putting in approximately £560,000.
