Earlier this year, five leisure centres benefited from a £1 million investment, bringing state-of-the-art fitness equipment to users across the borough.
Part of the upgrade was the Function Training Studio at Leasowe. The space transformed an underused court into a dedicated training area featuring equipment such as boxing bags, battle ropes and flip tyres.
It's an excellent way to build strength, improve fitness and burn calories.
