£200,000 investment announced for major gym upgrade at Bexhill Leisure Centre
Freedom Leisure, the not for profit leisure trust that manages two centres on behalf of Rother District Council, has announced a £200,000 investment to completely upgrade the gym at Bexhill Leisure Centre.
The refurbishment will see all existing cardio and resistance equipment replaced with premium‑grade machines from Life Fitness, a global leader in high‑performance fitness equipment. The project also includes a redesigned main gym layout to improve flow, accessibility, and the overall user experience.


Work is scheduled to begin in mid‑May, with the aim of creating a modern, motivating training environment suitable from beginners to experienced athletes.
The new equipment will offer enhanced functionality, improved comfort, and the latest integrated technology, allowing users to track performance, personalise workouts, and train more effectively.
Bexhill Leisure Centre Manager, Bobbi Deegan, said “This investment reflects our commitment to providing high‑quality facilities for our members and the wider community. By introducing industry‑leading equipment and redesigning the gym layout, we’re creating a more engaging and motivating space for everyone.”
Efforts will be made to keep disruption to a minimum, and members will receive updates ahead of works commencing.
This upgrade marks a significant step forward for Bexhill Leisure Centre, reinforcing its role as a key fitness and wellbeing hub for the local community.
