Boxer Ricky Hatton has opened a new £2m health and fitness centre in Hyde, Greater Manchester, following eight months in development.
Formerly occupied by a print works, the 1,000sq m (10,764sq ft) Hatton Health and Fitness Centre opened on 12 May and features an 85-station gym equipped by Cybex, along with two Power Plate machines.
A new floor has also been added to provide a boxing area, including two rings, bags and speed balls, as well as two studios offering a range of classes, such as Spinning and conditioning.
Facilities at the centre, which had already secured more than 300 members ahead of its, also include a reception and refreshment area, a shop selling Hatton’s clothing line, a sauna and changing rooms.
Wellbeing treatments and therapies are also provided as part of the offering, which also includes a number of membership packages.
Club manager Nigel Wilkes said, “Nobody in this area is offering this quality of equipment or facilities. We were keen to create a place where women and families would feel comfortable, as well as attracting other members of the community.”
Depending on the success of the Hyde site, Hatton is considering the possibility of opening more sites in the future
