Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park recently undertook a comprehensive gym upgrade to create a more inclusive and versatile training environment for its diverse member base. From older adults and GP referral clients to strength-focused athletes and HIIT enthusiasts, the goal was to deliver a facility that supports every user, regardless of age or ability. By partnering with Gym Gear, the centre introduced state-of-the-art hydraulic strength equipment, revamped its free weights zone, and added advanced HIIT kit to elevate the entire gym experience.

This required a multi-zone solution that could meet the needs of every user group while enhancing the overall member experience.
We worked closely with Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park to deliver a full gym upgrade, anchored around three key areas:
To better serve older users and those returning to fitness, we installed a bespoke hydraulic circuit using Gym Gear’s user-friendly hydraulic strength machines. These low-impact, self-regulating machines offer a smooth, joint-safe training option, encouraging participation from members who might otherwise avoid traditional resistance equipment.
Key kit included:
To support high-intensity interval training and varied cardiovascular workouts, we installed the Ski Max 2.0. This versatile machine enhances the gym’s offering for functional fitness fans and class-based training.
The free weight area has undergone a full revamp, now featuring:
This setup allows members to move seamlessly between compound lifts and isolated exercises, with versatile layouts to suit small group training, solo sessions, or PT guidance.
The upgraded gym now offers something for everyone—from older users building foundational strength, to performance-focused members chasing PBs. As a result, Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park now boasts one of the most inclusive and dynamic training spaces in the region.
