THE leisure centre in Malvern is being given its second refurb in as many years.
The Malvern Splash Leisure Centre will see its fitness facilities revamped over the next few months, shortly after work on a £2 million revamp was completed.
Freedom Leisure is investing £200,000 into the project, which will see all new fitness equipment and a training area added.
In all, there will be new IC6 spin bikes, an improved and extended functional training area, more leg machines, air bikes, power mills and a lifting platform.
The new spin bikes have already been delivered and were installed on August 8.
The rest of the work is set to take place later in 2022.
A Freedom Leisure spokesperson said: "More information on this exciting project will be coming soon, so keep an eye out.
"For now have a look at the display picture of what you can expect the new fitness suite to look like."
The Malvern Splash has received heavy investment in recent years, with Freedom and Malvern Hills District Council spending £2 million on a total refurb of the swimming pool itself.
Despite the project being delayed by the pandemic, the Splash was reopened in March 2021.
The revamp included fully refurbished changing rooms, dedicated disability changing facilities, additional family changing areas, a new flume, new interactive water play for younger swimmers, a new wave machine and a modern looking, revamped poolside area.

In addition, improvements were made to improve the water quality through upgrades to the pool plant room, pumps and UV filter.
A number of energy efficiency features were also put in place to help reduce the centre's carbon footprint.
These include LED lighting and improved glazing.
During the time work was being carried out at the splash, the exterior colour of the centre was also changed from red to grey.
Some Splash users were upset that the sauna which had previously been present at the centre was no longer included.
This, the council said, was because of the cost to maintain, low usage rates and incidents of vandalism.
