even futuristic compared to the previous gym. There’s now an open,<br />
light space with better equipment on both floors and good views of the<br />
pool.<br />
It’s so cool Posh'n'Becks just had to visit. The England captain and his<br />
pop star wife (lookalike couple Paul Mansley and Gail Penny) made<br />
great use of the new facilities and entertained customers in their own<br />
inimitable style at the gym’s launched.<br />

means the new Premier Gym offers everything a private club does at an<br />
accessible price <strong>for</strong> everyone. As well as superior, modern gym<br />
facilities, new members also receive four one-to-one sessions with an<br />
instructor as part of our Premier One programme.”<br />
