Canterbury Academy will be receiving a £2m (US$3m, €2.33m) fitness centre after striking a deal with Swedish businessman, Carl Gripenstedt.
Gripenstedt, who is a director at Competition Line, will give the academy the funding to create a 9,000sq ft (836sq m) fitness area that will have over 140 resistance and cardio vascular machines in total.
As part of the planned overhaul, an additional floor has been added to the existing building to facilitate a new dance sudio, spin studio and ladies only gym.
3G surfaces have been laid on two new five-a-side pitches and the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) has seen similar improvements.
In addition, a new coffee shop is planned at the site and additional car parking paces are also being created.
The gym will offer low-cost memberships to the public, with a rate of £15.99 (US$24.15, €18.69) per month for 12 months to customers.
"The Canterbury Academy has negotiated a new partnership which will bring significant capital investment, improved facilities and sporting opportunities to the area," said Academy Executive Principle, Phil Karnavas.
