A health club in Sedbergh is set to re-open after four years’ closure.
The People’s Gym and Fitness Centre will re-open on the 20th of March.
An agreement to build new facilities - in a purpose-built annexe to the People’s Hall, was reached eighteen months ago with the hall's committee.
Sandra Gold-Wood, the chair, said: “The new space is excellent, and we’re delighted we’ve attracted more members to the new gym than we ever had in the previous one.
“Sedbergh’s more than ten miles from the nearest similar facilities, so having a gym in the community makes it possible to nip out for a quick session on the running machine or a few circuits on the weights, when the extra effort of traveling might mean you can’t be bothered.”
