WORK is underway on £350,000 projects to transform two sports centre gyms.

Eastwood Park Leisure and the Barrhead Foundry in East Renfrewshrei are being upgraded.

The gym at Barrhead has already closed to allow the work to take place and is expected to re-open on January 21.

Eastwood Park Leisure will close from January 24, reopening on February 11.

Both will benefit from new cardio machines which include high-tech flat screens with online apps and TV access.

There will also be a new wide range of resistance machines, new free weights and functional training areas.

Other improvements include new flooring and fresh new paintwork throughout.
