New leisure centre to provide wellbeing boost for Yeovil

Main contractor Magrock has been appointed to deliver a new £16 million David Lloyd Leisure health club at Bunford Park in Yeovil.

The project is due to complete next summer and will create a flagship health, fitness and wellness destination featuring a gym equipped with the latest fitness technology, multiple exercise studios, as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

There will also be spa facilities that will include a Himalayan salt sauna, steam room, ice cave, plunge pool, hydrotherapy pool and an outdoor spa garden, reflecting David Lloyd Leisure’s continued investment in premium health and wellness amenities.

Sports facilities will comprise two indoor multi-use courts, three tennis courts housed within an enclosed air dome, six outdoor padel courts beneath a canopy-covered structure, an outdoor multi-use games area and an outdoor Battle Box exercise facility.

Situated within the Bunford Park development, the building has been designed around a steel frame supported by concrete pad foundations and enclosed with composite cladding panels.

Richard Brewer, Managing Director at Magrock, said: “We are delighted to have secured our first project with David Lloyd Leisure. This development represents a significant investment in the region, providing a first-class health, fitness and wellness destination for the local community and shows Magrock’s appetite to move into the leisure sector.”
