Weights Room

Perth and Kinross Leisure, in partnership with the Tayside and Fife Institute of Sport and sportscotland, has converted one of the five squash courts at Bell’s Sports Centre in Perth to create a Weights Room.

The specialist Strength and Conditioning gym means that each of the major population centres covered by the Institute now has a facility suitable for use by performance athletes and in particular those who are members of the Institute’s elite squads.

The equipment includes:

2 Squat Racks
1 Bench Press Station
5 Olympic Bars
2 Portable Benches
2 Sets of Barbell stands ranging from 1kg to 40kg

In addition to top class athletes, the Weights Room will be used by sports clubs such as Perthshire Rugby Club; the local Powerlifting club, who have moved from the facility adjacent to Bell’s and individuals wishing to benefit from the resistance exercise which the new equipment can provide.

Because of the specialist nature of the equipment, a separate induction must be carried out by anyone wishing to use the Weights Room. This is in addition to those who already have an induction subscription for the existing PKL Fitness Gyms.
