Grade II listed country hotel gives gym a modern makeover
POSTED 14 May 2015 . BY Jak Phillips
The equipment upgrades are expected to bolster the gym’s existing offering, which includes more than 40 studio classes each week
Miskin Manor, a Grade II listed country hotel near Cardiff, has upgraded its health club with a significant equipment overhaul.

The independent hotel’s Miskin Health Club has spent £120,000 fitting out Star Trac equipment across four rooms of functional training, Spinning, HumanSport machines and a cardio/strength area.

As part of the equipment upgrade, the 22-acre estate has included CV equipment with HD embedded televisions screens, Inspiration Strength resistance machines, HumanSport cable range and a large number of benches and racks from the Star Trac range. In addition, the new HIIT-focused functional area features the BoxMaster, prowler push/pull sleds, jump plyo-boxes and battle ropes.

“We are really pleased with the new equipment, we needed a partner that could offer us state-of-the-art technology paired with best in class customer service and that’s exactly what we got,” said Miskin Health Club fitness manager Chris Abraham.

The equipment upgrades are expected to bolster the gym’s existing offering, which includes more than 40 studio classes each week and PT sessions. Miskin Health Club also features a swimming pool, steamroom and sauna, sports hall, a bistro café and beauty treatment rooms.
