The new gym extension at Xcite Bathgate Leisure Centre in West Lothian is set to open this weekend and a host of free classes are on offer to customers to help celebrate the big day.

£600,000 has been spent on refurbishing and extending the gym area. The new extension has a fresh layout and design, new technology equipment and air conditioning.

West Lothian Leisure is marking the event with a special "Open Weekend" on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 August between 9am and 4pm.

There's a host of free activities on offer over the two days, including free swimming, free fitness classes, free fitness assessments, free golf competitions and free advice sessions from Physioflex.

Robin Strang, General Manager of West Lothian Leisure, said: "We are absolutely delighted with the extension to the new gym and we're sure that customers will agree that there have been major improvements.

"The Open Weekend offers both customers and anyone interested in fitness and leisure, an opportunity to look around the facilities in Bathgate and take part in games and activities. There's something for everyone and the best part is that it is absolutely free."
