Nethy Bridge golfer helps open top-notch High Life Highland city gym
Nethy Bridge professional golfer Hannah McCook has helped to open a state-of the art strength and conditioning suite teed up by High Life Highland at Inverness Leisure.
The new facility open yesterday to members for inductions and is a vast improvement on the previous offering.
The new space has been created as a result of a partnership with sportscotland which secured £37,404 National Lottery funding for the development.
The new area is more than four times the size of space previously available and includes six weightlifting platforms and racks, complete with Olympic bumper weights and a conditioning area with cardio and resistance equipment.
New performance impact flooring has been laid throughout which incorporates a fantastic specification 20m agility turf runway.
Douglas Wilby, Director of Sport and Leisure for High Life Highland, said: “I am delighted that our partnership with sportscotland has once again been successful in providing funding to improve what is on offer for our Highlife members and local athletes.
"Improving the facility in this way gives us the flexibility to increase our personal training, small group fitness classes and woman’s weightlifting classes.”
McCook said: “'I am fortunate to have used the gym here in Inverness since I joined the sportscotland institute of sport network in 2009. To now see it develop into this world class facility is very exciting for all the athletes here, and for the city.
“The more space we have, the more Highland athletes that can develop and progress in their sport.”
McCook made her debut as a professional golfer on the LET Access Series last year.
