FITNESS enthusiasts will have new equipment to work out with when a gym opens next Monday.

The venue inside the Chelmsford Sports and Athletics Centre, in Salerno Way, Melbourne, is being launched on December 16.

State-of-the-art equipment will be in the gym with users being able to surf the web, watch TV and have some famous locations around the world show up on screen when on the treadmills.

Members will also be able to access personal workout plans from the centre on their smart phones, computer tablets and PCs.
