Grand Central

About the Centre

Located in the centre of Stockport, next to the train station, Life Leisure Grand Central provides first class fitness and swimming facilities. The gym houses the latest fitness equipment and has a dedicated performance zone and aerobics studio with weeky programme of classes. Grand Central is also home to Stockport's only 50m swimming pool and Stockport Metro, the UK's most successful swimming club and learn to swim programme.

IMPORTANT CUSTOMER NOTICE - HEALTH SUITE & SMALL POOL WORKS

Stockport Council would like to sincerely apologise for the considerable inconvenience caused to Grand Central customers during the works taking place over the last year. We are also sorry that snagging issues, in particular to the health suite and flumes/baby pool areas, have meant that facilities have been out of action longer than we would have anticipated.

The Council and Life Leisure have been working with relevant contractors to ensure that all works are completed as soon as possible and that defects that have arisen over the past couple of months are permanently rectified. The majority of works will be completed over the next 4 weeks. In particular:

• The small swimming pool/Oasis splash pool and flumes remain closed whilst works are completed. It is currently anticipated that these areas will be open from the beginning of December.

• Issues in the health suite are being attended to individually over the next few weeks with all defects resolved by Christmas.

• The new lift has now been manufactured and will be installed early in 2019

We thank you for your patience whilst the final stages of these works are completed.

CUSTOMER NOTICE – General Maintenance/Upgrades to Life Leisure Centres

With agreed funds for 2017/18 of approx. £5m for the Life Leisure estate, we are working with Stockport Council to improve and upgrade some aged mechanical and electrical equipment at various Life Leisure sites with more modern and efficient equipment. This will help improve the customer experience as we will have greater control of the environment in facilities, e.g. temperatures in both swimming pools (where applicable) and the building generally. By installing more efficient equipment Life Leisure will also become more eco-friendly, reducing our carbon footprint, with our ultimate aim being to offer carbon neutral centres. These major works will present us with some operational difficulties along the way, which we will try to minimise, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. We will provide more details as they become clearer.
