If you thought that Magnum Power Force Gym was limited to the floor above Boyle’s Children’s Centre on Church Street, think again.

The newly renovated health centre has 11,000 square feet of space set aside for all your diet and exercise needs — and it even has a swimming pool!

It is also family friendly — parents can drop their children off in the kids’ play area while they exercise — so now there are no excuses fopr not exercising!

As you enter the building, the Diet Center is on the right of the main reception area.

After passing through this area, there is a room specially set aside for cardio, with treadmills, rowing machines, step machines and stationary bikes.

Each machine has its own TV, so exercisers need not worry about getting bored.

In the next section there is a huge pin-weight room with every conceivable machine aimed at working different parts of the body.

At the end of this section, are the locker rooms, showers, changing areas and a steam room.

Communal areas are at the rear of both rooms and feature a specialised massage Jacuzzi, two massage suites and a sauna.

To the right and rear of the above facilities, there is the aerobic and at present the spinning room, although a new space is being created for this.

On leaving this area you can follow the rear steps, which will take you to the free weight room, and to the left of this area there are two rooms.

One houses the heated Endless Pool, a pool that is designed to allow one to swim on the spot and aqua aerobics classes will also be taught here.

Looking directly though the windows, you cannot miss the brightly coloured Kid’s Play Room.

She explained that parents with children can send them down to play while they work out, or the room has also been hired for children’s birthday parties.
