Matt Murray kicks off new fitness area at Wolverhampton club - WATCH
Former Wolves goalkeeper Matt Murray has returned to one of his former training bases to help unveil an exciting new fitness makeover.
Wolverhampton Lawn Tennis & Squash Club, where players from the Molineux club would train before the Sir Jack Hayward training ground opened in 2005, has now opened a revamped and re-branded fitness area called 'The Pit'.
The Pit is another option for members to work out with a variety of equipment and classes, separate to the club's existing gym area.

Fitness fanatic Murray believes that the new 'fantastic' functional fitness area, which will host a number of different sessions throughout the week, is important in offering punters options to keep fit and healthy.
Former England under-21 shot-stopper Murray said: “We always used to enjoy coming here after training as we would always get a great welcome and we were well looked after.
“There was also the opportunity for plenty of banter with players, coaches and the staff which was always good fun.
“The facilities are fantastic, and, given how everyone knows how much I love working out in the gym, this looks like it is going to keep the members really busy with their fitness sessions.
“Anything that pushes people to keeping themselves fit and in good condition is always important, and I am sure The Pit will prove a valuable addition to such a great club with so many different sports on offer.”
The strength and conditioning area has been kitted out with new equipment, meaning the System Energize team of personal trainers can offer a variety of classes.
The Pit's facelift will benefit all users at award-winning WLTSC. As well as tennis, squash and racketball programmes, the club is a popular location for health and fitness enthusiasts.
Marc Hughes, Operations Manager at WLTSC, added: “It will be great to see members able to work out in The Pit as well as our existing top quality gym, and we are also holding discussions at the moment with a view to bring in even more exciting developments in the future.”
