The new gym extension at Xcite Bathgate Leisure Centre is set to open this weekend and a host of free classes are on offer to customers to help celebrate the big day.
£600,000 has been spent on refurbishing and extending the gym area. The new extension has a fresh layout and design, new technology equipment and air conditioning.
West Lothian Leisure is marking the event with a special "Open Weekend" on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 August between 9am and 4pm.
There's a host of free activities on offer over the two days, including free swimming, free fitness classes, free fitness assessments, free golf competitions and free advice sessions from Physioflex.
New customers can also join for free this weekend and everyone can receive a tour of the new facilities. Plus, staff from Kerry's Hair salon will be on hand to offer spray tans for only £10.
Youngsters will also be able to take part in a number of free activities including swimming, a beat the goalie competition, free unlimited use of the bouncy castle, a golf competition, aqua run and face painting, plus many more.
Robin Strang, General Manager of West Lothian Leisure, said: "We are absolutely delighted with the extension to the new gym and we're sure that customers will agree that there have been major improvements.
"The Open Weekend offers both customers and anyone interested in fitness and leisure, an opportunity to look around the facilities in Bathgate and take part in games and activities. There's something for everyone and the best part is that it is absolutely free."
Executive councillor for culture and leisure, Jim Walker, said: "Customer feedback told us that the gym in Bathgate would be improved if it was bigger and that is what we have done. "600,000 represents a significant investment and the facility looks wonderful. I congratulate West Lothian Leisure on such tremendous work. The Bathgate Leisure Centre offers such a wide variety of products and services, and there really is something for all the family."
