Your gym is having an upgrade!

Here’s everything you need to know

We’re incredibly pleased to embark on our recent management of Rainbow Leisure Centre in partnership with Epsom & Ewell Borough Council for the next 10 years. To bring you the new-look gym, work will begin on Thursday 6 November, with the gym scheduled to reopen in early January 2025.

What equipment will be available in the temporary gym?

The temporary gym will be set up in the sports hall and will include around 50 stations across two courts. We’ve planned the space carefully to offer a good mix of equipment so you can continue training while the main gym is refurbished.

Will all the usual gym equipment be available?

Not everything can be moved into the temporary gym. For safety and flooring protection reasons, the following won’t be included:

  • Racks and Olympic barbells
  • Cable DAPs, cable pulldowns, and pull-up stations
  • Platforms or deadlifting buffers
  • Weights over 20kg (including dumbbells and plates)
  • Plate-loaded leg equipment
  • Bench press stations

What accessible equipment will be available?

We’ve made sure the temporary gym remains inclusive and accessible. Equipment will include:

  • Arm bike
  • Recumbent bike (for members able to transfer)
  • Free weights and functional kit
  • Ski-ergs and rowing machines
  • IFI treadmill
  • IFI shoulder press, low row, leg press, and leg extension/curl

Will the gym team be available to help with training adaptations?

Yes. All of our Gym Instructors and Personal Trainers are fully qualified to offer alternative exercises. They’ll help you adapt your workouts using the equipment available so your training can continue smoothly.

Will the space feel too busy?

The current layout includes more stations than other recent temporary gym projects, and we’ve designed it to maximise training space. Our team will be on site during installation to make final adjustments and ensure everything fits safely and comfortably.

We can't wait to share these improvements with you!
