Bolton Arena is opening it's gym doors from 6.30am Monday to Friday to get people fit for business (with effect from 15 June 2009).

'Our members and people from the local business community have told us that they want us to open earlier so they have time for a workout and get changed before they start work' explained Commercial Manager Gwyn Hughes.

'We want to open up our facilities to as many people as possible. We hope this will help to attract more members from the local buisness and the wider community.'

The Arena has also introduced online booking and queue-busting fast track entry.

'All of these developments offer added choice and convenience for our members and customers.'

The Arena has recently classed as an 'excellent' facility by the United Kingdom Quality Accreditation Scheme for Sport and Leisure (Quest) following a two-day assessment of the centre.
