Ferry Leisure Centre has completed a series of exciting upgrades, including the opening of a dedicated indoor cycling studio and the refurbishment of two squash courts.
The new studio, which was previously a squash court, will feature a range of classes, both instructor led and virtual, catering for cyclists of all abilities. Indoor cycling sessions have been a feature of the Ferry’s group exercise programme for a number of years, but with this new, dedicated space, the team have been able to expand what they are able to offer customers and offer a broader range of classes.
In addition to the new workout space, the centre’s remaining squash courts have had new lighting installed, floors sanded and the walls and lines repainted.
Rob Jennings, Contract Manager for More Leisure Community Trust (MLCT), which operates the facility in partnership with Serco Leisure, said:
“We’re proud to continue investing in our facilities and adapting to the changing needs of our community. The new virtual indoor cycling studio offers a modern, dynamic way for people to stay active. Having a studio dedicated to this popular form of indoor workout has given us the opportunity to lay on extra classes to meet customer demand.
“The new studio is part of a broader programme of investment into the centre, which includes the refurbishment of two squash courts as well as improvements to our café facilities.
“So, whether you want to book an indoor cycling class in our new studio, give squash a try, or just pop in for a cup of coffee, we’d love to see you at Ferry!”
Councillor Chewe Munkonge, Cabinet Member for a Healthy, Fairer Oxford and Small Business Champion, said:
“We’re committed to ensuring Oxford residents have access to high-quality, modern leisure facilities that support active and healthy lifestyles. These latest improvements at Ferry Leisure Centre – especially the addition of a state-of-the-art indoor cycling studio – reflect that commitment in action. It’s great to see investment responding directly to the needs of local people, and we look forward to seeing the community enjoy everything the upgraded centre has to offer.”
