Dingwall and Fortrose leisure centre reopenings on schedule, says High Life Highland

Both centres have been closed for upgrades to their gyms.

High Life Highland’s Dingwall Leisure Centre and the Black Isle Leisure Centre in Fortrose are set to reopen as planned, it has been announced.

Operators High Life Highland said today that Dingwall Leisure Centre is on schedule for full reopening of its gym on Wednesday, January 4 following an upgrade over the festive season.

Customers keen to try out the new equipment on offer, however, will be able to get started in the gym on December 29 and 30 when it will be open from 10am to 2pm each day.

The range of equipment to be installed will include new cardio and skill equipment including recline and upright bikes, treadmills, synchros, a skill bike, skill mill and skill rows, as well as an extensive range of strength equipment.

The Dingwall Leisure Centre induction process has been updated to take into account the change in the equipment.

Each area of the gym (the main gym and the strength room) will require an induction and these will be bookable separately.

There will be inductions available for different skill levels with more details available from the leisure centre.

Fitness room users who have previously completed an induction and PAR-Q are not required to undergo a further full induction although they may find it useful to do so.

The fitness room will be manned at various times for the first few weeks to deal with any customer queries.

The High Life Highland facility in Dingwall will be open to members for inductions on Thursday and Friday, December 29 and 30 and then from Wednesday, January 4 onwards.

Inductions can be booked online seven days in advance here

The centre will have an expanded fitness suite, with a wider range of equipment for people using the gym, including a dual adjustable pulley, Olympic flat bench, half rack, abdominal crunch, low row, adjustable bench, skill row, skill bench and upgraded treadmills.
