A NEW gym and sports complex is to launch to the growing on-site Alderley Park community and residents in November.

The sports complex will include a gym, group fitness studio, sports hall, three outdoor tennis courts and a five-a-side all-weather football pitch.

There will also be new 7-a-side and 11-a-side football pitches and outdoor recreation areas.

Managed by Cheshire-based Health and Wellbeing Charity Everybody Sport and Recreation, the sports complex is part of a £160 million investment from Park owners Bruntwood SciTech.

The new development will create new job opportunities for health, fitness and leisure professionals.

The new innovative roles will include delivering a range of group fitness classes, personal training, health and fitness advice, and front of house customer service.

There will also be opportunities for experienced duty managers and other health and fitness professionals to join the team.
