Avon Valley Sports College in Durrington opens Brand New Fitness Centre for Students and Local Community

£400,000 state-of-the-art gym and dance studio built with no capital outlay from the school

Students from Avon Valley Sports College in Durrington, Wiltshire, and its eight primary feeder schools are celebrating the arrival of a new state-of-the-art gym and dance facility supplied free under a revenue share agreement with Competition Line, owner of the gym and fitness brand Lifestyle.  The new facilities, valued at an estimated cost of £400,000, are set to play a key role in enhancing ‘active learning’ across all schools within the region.  “It is also hoped that these excellent new facilities will help boost the general health and well being of fee paying local residents living within a 10 mile radius of the school – an estimated  20,000 people  – when it opens its doors to the general public on Thursday  22nd December”, says Head Teacher Mark Avoth.

Featuring 33 machines from Technogym, a champion of world sport and sole supplier of gym equipment to the Athlete’s Village for the Olympics 2012, the new gym will include 6 treadmills, 6 cross trainers (3 different types), 5 bikes  and a selection of  free weight and functional cable resistance machines .  A new building is currently being redeveloped to house the dance studio.  This coupled with a new sports hall, Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) for netball and five-a-side football and a courtyard cafe for refreshments, is set to makeAvonValleyCollegeone of the best sporting facilities in the region.

Members of the general public keen to benefit from the new facilities can join the gym for just £19.99 per month for a 12 month period – a saving of approximately £15 per month on the fees charged by most gyms in the local area.  Members who pay upfront for the whole year will qualify for 15 months for the price of 12 by using promotion code AVDEC1.
