We are currently renovating the gym and transitioning to Technogym equipment. Please see the FAQs below for more information:
Why are gym renovations taking place?
The sports centre is now 5 years old. Our equipment lease is also at an end, and this makes it the best time to carry out some changes to the layout of the sports centre, ready to receive the new equipment. There will be a better mix of equipment to match the current usage demands.
What are you changing?
We’re rearranging the ground floor of the building to allow all equipment to be in the same space and provide an all-round fitness experience for our members.
We’re also introducing treatment rooms, which will be available for a variety of specialists to hire, with other services coming gradually online.
What does this mean for my membership? Will I get a discount? Are you putting prices up?
During the refurbishment period, anyone on a monthly recurring membership will be ‘paused’. Your standard payment will not be taken in August, and the normal payment schedule resumes in September. If you are on a 6 or 12-month prepaid membership, the closure period will be added to the end of your membership automatically.
We commit to remaining a low-cost facility. However, there will be an increase effective from September. Existing members will stay on their current pricing until 1st January 2025 for recurring payments. Where 6 or 12-month memberships are renewed before 1st September, these will be offered at the pre-increase rate. We remain the cheapest gym in Ealing*, and the introduction of new and improved facilities is reflected in the small increase.
*On most price bands, including students.
What equipment will be new?
Every single piece of gym equipment will be brand new, straight from the factory! We’re introducing Technogym equipment, a world-leading provider.
Some of the highlights include the SkillRun, Technogym Bench, and 4 Olympic Half Racks.
All cardiovascular equipment features Excite Live technology – enjoy the widest variety of embedded training content like Sessions, Routines, Outdoors, and more. For entertainment during workouts, choose from TV, web browsing, or your favourite apps.
We’re also introducing Spin Bikes to the gym floor. The Technogym Cycle links to the Wellness podium on the gym floor. The spin bikes will be available to book for individual or group virtual classes, linked to your own phone or tablet, and we’re also adding instructor-led classes to the group exercise timetable.
What about the Sports Centre App?
Our UWL Sports Centre App will shortly be retired from the App Store and Google Play Store. All members will then be set up on the Technogym MyWellness App, which will allow you to log your workouts, utilise the AI Coach function, and connect to equipment using the QR codes. Some other changes to our membership system are also in the pipeline to improve the membership journey; more on this as developments come!
What date will classes stop?
The class timetable will pause from Saturday 13th July. The new timetable will launch from Monday 2nd September. Bookings will open from 10 days prior, via the Technogym App.
What will closure dates be?
The stretch area, currently in Studio 1, will be unavailable from Monday 15th July. This is to allow works to begin on phase 2 of the building works. The arrangement of Gym 1 will be altered within the confines of the space to facilitate a temporary wall to be erected to allow works to take place on the other side.
We will fully close at 9pm on Saturday 27th July. We will open again at 8am on Wednesday 21st August. Instructors will be available throughout the following days to guide you through the new equipment.
