As energy costs went through the roof last year, we decided to reduce our evening hall rentals in an effort to save money on heating bills.

Now, as energy costs have settled and the impact of our new energy-efficient heating system has become established, we are once again able to open the main hall in our Barony St John Centre on Ardrossan’s Princes Street, up for rental.

As you can see by the photos, our main hall is one-third set up as a gym, with two-thirds set as a matted training area. The matted area is surrounded by hanging and free-standing punchbags, along with body opponent bags. However, because it is matted, is not suitable for any classes with shoes.

The gym area consists of a great selection of dumbbells, barbells and kettlebells, with a squat rack, bench press and preacher curl. There is also a great variety of exercise machines including a multi-gym, cable crossover, Jacob’s ladder, cross trainer, leg press, spin bike, recumbent bike, hand bike and rowing machine.

This main hall is ideal for community classes such as exercise, circuit training, Yoga, Boxfit, Tae Bo, Muay Tai, combat sports, martial arts, dance classes, etc. If you run a class or you're planning to run a class, and you are interested in renting our hall, please get in touch.

It is only £18 per hour with discounts if more than one hour is booked per week. We have availability every evening plus every weekend, apart from 5pm to 8pm on Thursdays and 10am to 11am on Saturdays.

We also have toilet facilities and access to our kitchen area for water.

You will need to have appropriate insurance and instructor certificates if you plan to teach from our hall, so if you are interested, please email Alan@ScotCPS.org.uk or call 07900 950599 to arrange to have a chat or a show around.     

In the meantime, if you would like to know more about the work our charity does, visit www.ScotCPS.org.uk or search for ScotCPS on your social media pages.

Until next time, stay safe.
