This includes:

Here’s the first look at our top-end Matrix strength equipment 🏋️‍♂️

We’ve got a great range of functional strength machines, alongside a dedicated free weights zone with a full set of dumbbells, kettlebells and a half rack.

Combined with the functional training zone, group exercise studio and cardio equipment we’ve already shown you, we’re creating a gym that offers a really varied training experience — and one we believe can support everyone to stay active, get stronger and work towards their own goals.

A huge thank you to Dave from DB Electrical for all his hard work on the gym over the last few weeks — and especially for kindly installing our new defibrillator free of charge.

We’d also like to say a big thank you to Southwold Town Council and Friends of Southwold Library for their generous contributions towards the purchase of the device.

An AED (automated external defibrillator) can provide vital support in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest. It gives clear, step-by-step instructions to guide the user through what to do in an emergency, meaning you don’t need to be medically trained to use it.

The defibrillator is located at the front of The Old Hospital and is accessible 24 hours a day.

It is suitable for use on both adults and children, helping ensure this potentially life-saving equipment is available to the wider community whenever it is needed.

A great example of what can be achieved when local people and organisations come together. ❤️
