Over the past two years, the upgrades have focused on improving the customer experience and the functionality of the building. 

In January 2024, new flooring was installed in the main gym. This was followed by the replacement and upgrade of a range of cardio equipment.  

Grangemouth Sports Complex was only the second venue in the UK to install this new range of equipment including treadmills, stair climbers, cross trainers, bikes, adaptive motion trainers, rowers, and skiing machines.  

All machines are fitted with new consoles that allow users to cast content directly from their smartphones, making it easier to access music, video, or fitness apps during a workout.

A new “functional flooring” area has also been added in the corner of the gym and provides a matted space designed for exercises that use body weight or small gym tools such as medicine balls.  

Two additional benches have also been installed in the free weights area in response to customer demand. 

A range of upgrades have also been made elsewhere in the complex, including:

• Redesigned reception area  
• Refurbished gents’ dry side changing room  
• Pool plant upgrade (chemical bulk tank replacement)  
• Introduction of Combat and Martial Arts zones  
• Corridor vinyl flooring repairs  
• Poolside LED lighting  
• New external bike storage – funded by Active Travel Scotland. 

Improvements have also included internal redecoration, the removal of outdated basketball equipment from the gym and the ongoing installation of new banners to enhance the look and feel of the gym.

The on-site café has also benefited from a £50,000 investment with upgrades to the café counter and serving area and two new coffee machines installed.
