The Redevelo<br />
Sports<br />
The <strong>Radley</strong> <strong>College</strong> Sports Centre has<br />
been transformed to provide a much<br />
more vibrant and energetic environment,<br />
following the development of a fitness<br />
suite and weights room, and the<br />
refurbishment of the swimming pool,<br />
changing rooms and reception areas.<br />
Together with the squash courts, real<br />
tennis court and sports hall, the centre<br />
boasts some first class facilities. Indeed,<br />
with the recent introduction of the real<br />
tennis court, <strong>Radley</strong> has become the only<br />
school to have both a real tennis and a<br />
rackets court.<br />
The new fitness suite occupies an area<br />
that was largely unused. Not only does<br />
it provide excellent facilities, it has<br />
also enhanced the visual aspect of the<br />
centre. The suite has over thirty pieces<br />
of traditional gym equipment such as<br />
treadmills, cross trainers and rowing<br />
machines. It also has nine ‘spin bikes’<br />
and the centre runs a number of weekly<br />
spin classes, with spinning becoming an<br />
important part of many people’s training<br />
regime.<br />
The weights room is extremely popular<br />
amongst boys and plays a critical role in<br />
preparing them for their chosen sports.<br />
