Discover Canolfan Pentre Awel: A Beacon of Innovation and Opportunity

Canolfan Pentre Awel is set to redefine the landscape of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, with its revolutionary 83-acre development. This pioneering project is the first of its kind in Wales, integrating leisure, business, health, research, education, assisted living, and hotel facilities into one harmonious location. Spearheaded by Carmarthenshire County Council, Canolfan Pentre Awel is a collaborative effort involving Hywel Dda University Health Board, Swansea University and other further and higher education partners.

This fitness suite offers an enhanced experience with Chromecast technology, which allows exercisers to easily connect their phone to the Precor cardio consoles and watch their favourite streaming app on the big screen, and EGYM’s innovative customer journey, tailored to individual health and wellbeing needs.
