The Hunslet Club is proud to announce the opening of its brand-new Eco Gym, designed to help young people achieve their fitness goals while promoting a more sustainable future. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a gym for young people and will also be open to community members for just £10 per month, embodying the club’s commitment to supporting personal growth and remaining accessible to all.
The Eco Gym features cutting-edge SportsArt equipment powered by ECO-POWR™ technology, which captures energy from exercise and movement and converts it into clean, renewable electricity. This energy is then fed back into the building’s grid, helping power other gym machines and contributing to the facility’s overall energy needs. This innovation not only provides an opportunity for physical development but also supports The Hunslet Club’s mission to become more environmentally sustainable.
“We are thrilled to launch this eco-friendly gym, which aligns perfectly with our vision of supporting young people while being mindful of the environment.” said Ryan Grant, Business and Education Manager at The Hunslet Club.
“This gym will serve as a resource for our members to achieve their fitness goals and help them stay active and engaged, and through our use of renewable energy, we are also teaching the importance of sustainability. It’s a win-win for The Club, our community and our planet. Green gyms are the future.”
The Eco Gym will be open to all young people for free during our Youth Club hours where supervised sessions will be on offer ensuring young people have the correct support and guidance. This is part of The Hunslet Club’s ongoing mission to serve the fitness and wellness goals of all young people in South Leeds. In addition, local community members, parents and guardians of members are invited and encouraged to join the gym to stay active whilst their kids are taking part in one of our 114 activity sessions per week.
Opening hours: Monday-Friday 3-9pm, Saturday 8:30am-2pm. Membership is just £10 per month. Please call in to the club to sign up or email cboyce@hunsletclub.org.uk for more information.
