FITNESS enthusiasts in Truro now have a new gym at their disposal, with the opening of Snap Fitness Truro on Treliske Industrial Estate.

The franchised 9,000-plus sq ft gym is open 24 hours, with facilities including connected cardio equipment allowing members to link up their fitness wearables and watch popular streaming platforms like Netflix while they exercise.

It also has one of the largest free weights areas in Cornwall, with three Olympic lifting platforms and a further three on the way; and two group exercise studios, including a dedicated spin studio with eye-catching lights.

Post-exercise, members can visit a relaxing recovery area featuring Therabody massage guns and vibrating wave foam rollers.

Franchisee Mark Williams said: “The reaction from the local community has been unbelievable, and it was great to see the enthusiasm from our members who were queuing up to enjoy their first workout.

“We understand that the gym can be an intimidating place, but that won’t be the case here. Our goal is to be inclusive and for people to feel completely at ease when they walk through our door.”

Membership includes round-the-clock access, instructor-led and virtual group exercise classes, a member smartphone app and reciprocal access to more than 1,000 global Snap Fitness locations.
