High quality new sauna and steam cabins have been introduced at Southgate Leisure Centre as part of a major upgrade to the health suite.
The high-end facilities were officially opened by Cllr Edward Smith, Cabinet Member for Council Assets & Culture at Enfield Council.
Southgate Leisure Centre members will now be able to take advantage of the many health benefits of sauna and steam, including improved blood flow, muscle relief, stress reduction, lower blood pressure and improved sleep.
In addition to the new sauna and steam cabins, improvements include new tiling, feature lighting, an incorporated shower with water fountain and redesigned layout.
There are also new entrance arrangements which will improve capacity management and customer safety.
Cllr Edward Smith, Cabinet Member for Council Assets & Culture at Enfield Council, said: “I was delighted to visit Southgate Leisure Centre to see the comprehensive, Council-funded refurbishment of the centre’s steam room and sauna, that has been transformed into a modern health suite.
“I’d encourage our residents to visit the centre to use the high-quality facility which is a calming environment that promotes wellbeing and relaxation and will help users unwind and recover after exercise.
“Our investment in the facility includes the installation of new mood lighting systems and new wall and floor tiling throughout, providing a fresh, contemporary appearance that creates a luxurious spa-like atmosphere.
“We will continue to work closely with Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL), to ensure the borough’s leisure centres are regularly maintained and improved.”
Vishal Karia, GLL Partnership Manager, said: “Last August, with Council investment we completed a £750,000 refurbishment to the gym facilities at Southgate Leisure Centre, and we are delighted that the health suite is now up to the same high standard.
“This refurbishment is designed to enhance both the facilities and the overall customer experience, giving our members a more modern, comfortable and enjoyable wellness experience.”
The health suite has a maximum capacity of sixteen people and booking is essential.
