The gym equipment from the Leisure Centre is currently in storage awaiting permanent reinstatement. There is a possibility that some of this equipment could be used in a community-run arrangement.
This suggestion has been put to the Blaenavon 2 Communities First Steering Group who are exploring the availability of Job Match training for members of the community to supervise a community run gym.
The location of the gym will be considered once the availability of training has been established.
Two items of equipment are currently being used by the Cardiac Rehabilitation team in Blaenavon.
