The venue is currently closed for the internal and external refurbishments but will be reopening next month as an Anytime Fitness with 24/7 opening hours and new state-of-the-art equipment.

Renata, who is looking to retain some of the employees that customers and clients are used to seeing at the gym, said: “We’re so excited to be opening Anytime Fitness Birkenhead and supporting local people with their health and wellbeing.

“The current team has built a great community in such a short period of time and we’re looking forward to building on that and providing a welcoming and inclusive gym that the area can be proud of.

“Both Steven and I have experienced first-hand the positive impact that exercise can have on our physical and mental wellbeing, which is why we’re so passionate about owning our own gym.

“We want the gym to be a hub in the local area and you can expect to see us out and about in Birkenhead over the next few weeks, as well as hosting some fun events for everyone.”
