A Bristol health club and spa owned by former BBC Dragon Duncan Bannatyne by has invested £800,000 in a huge revamp.
Major works have been undertaken to refurbish the changing rooms and build a new steam room and sauna.
New poolside showers have also been installed as part of a £50million investment programme by the company over the next three years.
The health club now has a relaxation room with mood lighting and music, refurbished treatment rooms and a new manicure and pedicure room.
New speakers and lighting have also been install in the spin workout room.
Debbie Williams, general manager at the Bannatyne Health Club and Spa Bristol, said: “The investment by the Bannatyne Group shows a real display of confidence in the area and the club.
“The results of the upgrade look fantastic and the feedback from members and guests has been very positive. We’re really excited to show off our new facilities and happy to welcome new and existing members to visit us to see for themselves.”
The Bannatyne Health Clubs brand is owned by Mr Bannatyne, who is also known for his appearances as a business angel on the BBC programme Dragons’ Den .
The company has 72 sites across the UK, more than 210,000 members and employs more than 3,000 people.
The Bannatyne Health Clubs chain was founded in 1997 with its first club in Teesside.
The idea was created after Mr Bannatyne was in a ski accident and needed regular exercise to recover.
He couldn't find facilities locally and decided to use some of the proceeds from the sale of his previous business, Quality Care Homes plc, to establish the fitness chain.
