Peter Dive is the owner of Full Fitness Gym in Norwich Road, Watton.

After seeing families in the town complain that there is not enough for youngsters to do he took it into his own hands, re-purposing areas of his gym to create a climbing wall, called Just Grip, which he said had proved to be a success with teens and children.

Now, the gym has seen a host of improvements with the creation of a soft play area, new climbing area and new gym space as it celebrates its fifth anniversary.

The 33-year-old said: "One area in the gym is relaxed, easy to use equipment, great for those moving into Fitness.

"Rock climbing through Bouldering is fully open, a new training area has been built for finger strength with a 4.5m wall without ropes or harness."

The soft play area is set to open on January 25. For more information go to www.thekidsplay.co.uk.
