Centre manager Jackie Cuddy said: "Strong men, spiders and snakes will make for a real different fun kids club this week.

"We are looking forward to welcoming the Stoltman brothers to the centre and I am sure the kids will be well impressed.

"The creepy crawlies are always a great hit at the Kids Club so I think there will be a big attendance this week."

Jade Mackenzie, the centre’s digital and marketing executive, said the first Athletes Experience last week had been fully booked by lunch time and went extremely well.

"The smoothie bike was a massive hit amongst the kids," she said.

" Everyone looked like they really enjoyed themselves and have asked to be booked in for the remainder of the sessions."
