A brand-new cycling studio was unveiled at South Norfolk Council’s Wymondham Leisure Centre on Saturday 23 March.

Council Chairman, Cllr James Easter, officially opened the studio which has 30 bikes.

He said: “Where some councils are cutting their leisure provision, we are continuing to invest in our residents’ health and wellbeing. The new studio is a fantastic addition to our thriving Centre where this type of cycling is incredibly popular.”

All studio cycling classes will now take place in the new studio, as well as new Les Mills virtual classes including Virtual RPM, Virtual Sprint and Virtual Trip.

The opening event also raised over £100 for cancer charity Keeping Abreast, with a sponsored cyclothon involving 4 back-to-back classes.

Cllr Easter added: “It was a great opportunity for members and non-members to test out the new studio, while raising money for this great cause.”

In addition to the new studio at Wymondham Leisure Centre, a £4m refurbishment project is underway to modernise the swimming pool at Diss Leisure Centre, which will reopen to the public in December.
