The Amorebieta-Etxano City Council will begin renovation and improvement works on the gym at the Larrea sports center next Monday, November 2nd. This action is part of the Municipal Plan for Sport and Physical Activity. The works will take place throughout November, with completion expected by the end of the month. They will increase the space for physical exercise and introduce new sports equipment. The project will be carried out in three phases, requiring the gym to close for two weeks, from November 9th to 22nd.
Through this intervention, the City Council aims to enhance the sports facilities, offering a larger and more modern space adapted to users' needs. According to the project, the gym's area will expand from the current 404 m² to 757 m². The number of exercise machines will increase to 125, with 77 being new and approximately 48 being reused. Additional material will also be provided to broaden training options, including 200 discs, 14 barbells, and an artificial turf area.
The works will be conducted in three phases to minimize inconvenience to users and ensure the continuity of sports activities. In the first phase, new weight machines will be installed in the current activity room, and the gym will remain open. During the second phase, the existing machines will be moved to their new location on the ground floor, necessitating the gym's closure for two weeks, from November 9th to 22nd. Finally, the third phase will involve adapting the space previously occupied by machines on the upper floor to create two activity rooms.
To compensate for the temporary closure of the gym, the City Council will extend the subscription period by one month for the approximately 500 registered users. Furthermore, directed activities will be reorganized and temporarily relocated to other spaces during November to maintain the usual offering. Specific activities and their new locations have been detailed, including maintenance gymnastics, physical conditioning, Pilates, hipopilates, and G.A.P. classes.
The expansion works at the Larrea gym are part of the projects outlined in the Amorebieta-Etxano Municipal Plan for Sport and Physical Activity. The City Council continues to advance its commitment to improving the quality of sports facilities and expanding opportunities for citizens to engage in physical activity under better conditions.
