A new gym is set to open near Crystal Peaks, Sheffield, and will replace a fitness centre that has just closed.

The Place Gym has closed its business at Drakehouse retail park, in Waterthorpe, having announced its closure to its members and placed a statement on its website. Monday was due to be its last day.

But it has now been confirmed a new business will take over the building and open a new gym there later this year after a programme of refurbishments, and the on-site hairdressers will stay open throughout.

It is understood that there will be a £1.2 million refurbishment before PureGym opens up with new equipment in late summer.
