Colchester’s military community welcomed a new addition to its fitness infrastructure with the Pegasus Gym at Merville Barracks.

The gym, part of BeaverFit’s Field Army project, is designed to accommodate 150 soldiers simultaneously with state-of-the-art equipment tailored for comprehensive strength, power and cardiovascular training. Housed in a repurposed warehouse, Pegasus Gym complements the existing fitness facilities available to soldiers stationed here.

Equipped with weightlifting apparatus, functional training rigs for various exercises, and sled training tracks, the gym provides an ideal environment for rigorous physical conditioning.

Notably, it facilitates Soldier Conditioning Reviews, enabling precise assessments of individual soldiers’ fitness levels across key metrics like strength, power and cardiovascular health.
