EVERYONE Active in Acton is to open a women-only gym in January.

The firm – which runs the gym jointly with Ealing Council – is adding the feature seven months after opening the £19m centre.

General manager Luke Charlton said: “Feedback showed that lots of women in Acton and the surrounding areas were wanting to exercise in a women-only environment.”

One of the existing group exercise studios will be converted, to include 19 fitness stations, as well as areas for stretching and free weights.
