Four of Canberra’s most loved leisure centre gyms are getting a serious upgrade. Stromlo, Gungahlin, Lakeside Leisure Centres and Canberra Olympic Pool will see fresh equipment, improved layouts, new flooring and a more inclusive vibe all round.
As part of a large-scale refurbishment funded by the ACT Government and delivered by Belgravia Leisure, these spaces are being transformed into safer, more functional and more encouraging places to train. Whether you lift heavy or just like to say you do, the refreshed spaces are built to support you holistically – strengthening your body, mind and social connections.
The revamp is all part of a bigger commitment to make quality health and wellness facilities accessible to everyone in the community. Expect state of the art strength and cardio gear, better flow for training and a welcoming environment designed to support Canberrans of all ages and abilities.
Mat Pole, Business Operations Manager for ACT, said the upgrades have been designed with the community front of mind. “It’s been exciting to see the gym upgrade come together—the space feels fresh, welcoming, and ready for the community to enjoy.”
“We’ve added brand-new equipment, improved the layout, and even installed new turf in a few locations—all to create a space that’s more functional, welcoming, and enjoyable. We’re really looking forward to seeing the community make the most of it and continue their health and well-being journey with us. ” Mat continues.
