AQUASPLASH in Minehead will be closing for a fortnight from Friday February 23 until Friday March 9 for a £30,000 refurbishment. Walls and woodwork are to be painted, new carpets will be laid throughout the gyms and function rooms, the gym machines are being re-upholstered and the health suite showers will be re-grouted. Leisure services manager Janice Malarkey said: "Aquasplash users will find all the TV screens replaced and brand new X bikes installed.  "We're delighted we'll be able to offer local fitness fans new and refurbished facilities." Aquasplash Supervisor Chris Gibbs said that X bikes are similar to exercise bikes "but much better".  "Whereas exercise bikes are 'fixed' and only give a lower body workout, the handlebars on X bikes move from side to side so clients also get an upper body workout.    "TV screens will be installed in front of the bikes so X bikers can watch DVDs which appear to take them on cycle rides or tracks, so it's as close as you can get to the real thing.  "Bikers can change the resistance on the bikes as the DVDs take them 'uphill'.  "X bikes are great for full body workouts and the DVDs make it a lot more fun."
