Alliance Leisure Brings Adventure and Innovation to Prestatyn Leisure Centre

Working in collaboration with Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL), Alliance Leisure has delivered the next generation of fitness experiences at Prestatyn Leisure Centre, transforming PE provision for local children and strengthening community engagement.

The innovative digital fitness offering includes the first PRAMA immersive group exercise studio in North Wales, along with the country’s inaugural interactive squash court.

This investment is another example of DLL’s ongoing commitment to innovation, community engagement and providing cutting edge fitness and leisure facilities for all ages.

The PRAMA studio offers a dynamic, interactive environment where sound, lighting, floors and walls come to life. This immersive space is set to revolutionise the centre’s junior fitness programme and support the delivery of an innovative PE curriculum for students from Prestatyn High School, who access the leisure centre during school hours.

Meanwhile, the interactive squash experience reimagines the traditional game to engage a new generation of players. Using laser projectors, motion detection and responsive sensors to track ball movement, players can choose from a wide variety of games designed to develop key skills including hand-eye coordination, speed, strength and reaction time.

The project, which was delivered through the UK Leisure Framework, which is owned and managed by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, also includes a Clip and Climb climbing experience to expand DLL’s portfolio of family-friendly adventures.

Alongside the new digital fitness experiences, the centre also offers a DLL Refuel station featuring Costa Coffee, providing a relaxing area for members to unwind and socialise after their activities.

Building on the success of our Nova centre in Prestatyn and its popular attractions like Club Nova, Beach Hut and adventure play, we are excited to introduce these innovative experiences to Prestatyn Leisure Centre. The new digital additions will significantly enhance the PE programme for current and future students, while offering an unparalleled fitness experience for the wider community.

Alliance Leisure Transforms Under-Utilised Space into Dynamic Functional Training Space in Scotland

Working in close partnership with several specialist providers, Alliance Leisure was appointed by East Renfrewshire Council to transform a low-occupancy martial arts studio into a high-energy functional training arena.

The space, branded The Grid, will be used for both individual and group training, enhancing the current fitness offering for the local community.

The council collaborated with Alliance Leisure, who, through the UK Leisure Framework managed by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL), assembled a best-in-class team of leisure specialists to bring the vision to life. The £300,000 transformation was completed in just four weeks and will be operated by East Renfrewshire Leisure and Culture Trust.

Working with Alliance Leisure and the specialist partners to deliver our exciting new fitness space The Grid for Barrhead Foundry has been a great experience. From initially designing the space through to the delivery of the building works and fitout, this has been a smooth process and Alliance really looked at the finer details assisting with the fitness concept. The new training space will have a huge impact and provide a perfect work out environment for our customers and community.

As our first project with East Renfrewshire Council, this was an exciting opportunity showing the potential of transforming underutilised space into a thriving activity hub that would deliver significant value to the local community. We are looking forward to supporting the launch of this project and the growth in membership over the coming period.

“Through the UK Leisure Framework we have worked with our expert leisure contractor Thomas Johnstone Ltd supported by Axiom Project Services and CD Architects to create an innovative fitness space for East Renfrewshire Cultural and Leisure Trust. We have also utilised our specialist leisure suppliers, Indigo Fitness, Pulse Fitness and Hutchison Technologies to enhance the experience for the members.

The extension of the fitness provision means Barrhead Foundry can grow its membership and welcome additional revenue opportunities that will help ensure the sustainability of services going forward. The new training space officially opened on 18 April 2024.
