The doors have officially opened on a new facility for North Wales designed to keep churning out top weightlifting talent and be a hub of local fitness.
While the Mill Bank club has long been a mecca for weightlifting, major invesment means the newly named Holyhead and Anglesey Weightlifting and Fitness Centre can now cater for demands from the elite to fitness novices.
The venue now includes 13 lifting stations -- complying to international standards for its regional centre of excellence status -- and will expand its strength and conditioning programmes for other sports.
From a community perspective, the club's opening hours have extended to six days a week with additional fitness programmes aimed at juniors and women and girls.
A key aim is to enlist 50 new junior members, 48 new senior members and train up a number of new coaches.
Funding of over £31,000 from Sport Wales, and a range of other partners, has made the project a real team effort. |
