Former Burnley model Sue Dixon tries out the new fitness room at Belvale Squash Club.

Open seven days a week the fitness room has a wide range of equipment including exercise bicycle, rowing machine, multi-gym for weight training and twistaway station for weight reducing. And now the club in Redman Road, Reedley is hoping to attract housewives for two hour health and fitness sessions. These will incorporate a lesson in squash, a session in the fitness room, sun bed facilities and finishing off with a relaxing sauna. Belvale SC director Chris Blackadder said “Many women have time on their hands during the day and these sessions can give them an interest and make them feel fitter. We also hope to introduce a creche if there is a need.” The fitness room is open for men and women every day from 7 a.m. until midnight.
