Derby College Gym Re-Launch
Superbikes championship star Leon Haslam has officially opened the refurbished gym at Derby College.
More than £33,000 worth of new equipment has been installed at the gym at Prince Charles Avenue for use by the public and students and has been specially designed to be suitable for people with disabilities as part of the College’s status as an Inclusive Fitness Initiative accredited site.
Leon and a host of other sports stars regularly work at the gym with personal trainer Kirk Gibbons including professional boxer Jack Perry, British Formula three driver Riki Christodoulou and Sheffield Wednesday footballer Lee Grant.
Leon, who came to the re-launch before heading off to compete in Australia said: “The new equipment is fantastic and will really help everyone, from professional sports people to College students achieve their best.”
