Work has begun to convert the former Carpetright store in Market Harborough into a gym.

Contractors have moved into the building off Rockingham Road and set-up a site compound outside.

National chain PureGym hopes to be able to operate the venue 24/7 when it opens in March, but is still awaiting approval from Harborough District Council.

A PureGym spokesperson said: “We are delighted to be bringing flexible, affordable fitness to Market Harborough in March, subject to planning permission.

“The brand new c. 7,500 sq. ft. gym will provide members with 24/7 access to state-of-the-art fitness facilities through our flagship low-cost, zero-contract memberships.

“We look forward to welcoming members through the doors of PureGym Market Harborough.”

Carpetright closed last summer after the retailer went into administation.
