New 'bungee fitness centre' to open in former Bolton pawn shop

An innovative fitness centre where people exercise while attached to a bungee rope will open in Bolton town centre.

Plans for the new bungee fitness centre, Studio L, is set to open in a former pawn shop.

The cardio workout, which started in Thailand, has gained popularity in the UK in recent years.

In the classes, people are attached to a bungee rope by a “state-of-the-art” harness. The bungee adds resistance and allows temporary suspension in the air.

Linda Brennan, who has been doing bungee fitness since September last year, applied to open the centre at the former Cash Generator store in Bradshawgate.

The pawn shop closed in 2016 and last December, permission was granted to split the building into three units. Studio L is set to move into the middle unit.

Along with a range of bungee classes, there will be pole fitness classes and a creche for children.

The centre will be open between 10am and 8.30pm from Monday to Friday and from 10am to 2pm on Saturdays.
