A large weightlifting center among the most cutting-edge in Sicily. Not a dream, but the reality that is about to come true in Trapani.
The project designed for the gym in via Sceusa, inside the “Scontrino” conservatory in Milo, began after the Municipality of Trapani, at the end of the tender procedures, entrusted the sports structure to Asd Unbroken.
The gym where sport has a social function
An activity, that of weightlifting, which the sports association intends to leverage to penetrate the difficult territorial fabric where the gym is located, and promote social values, education and personal training.
Thus Unbroken, a sports club that has always stood out for high-value initiatives in Trapani, brings its experience into play, with the commitment to organize activities of significant educational and social importance in a peripheral area of the city.
“The gym activities will be aimed at athletes of all ages – says Francesco Anselmo, director of ASD Unbroken -. The association will develop social projects aimed at young people with socioeconomic difficulties and children with different abilities”.
When will the gym open?
“Good question, if it were for us tomorrow too, but obviously there are technical times to respect – says president Benedetto Fatebene -. The next step will be to understand the immediate interventions to be made, in order to speed up the start of the activities. In fact, this week we will go with our technician on site. For us, being active inside the gym as soon as possible is essential for organizing our 2024/25 calendar of events.”.
In the coming months, the sports facility will be subject to redevelopment works for 70 thousand euros, paid directly by the association and then deducted from the rental fee to the Municipality until compensation is paid.
The Municipality of Trapani had planned for the definitive assignment of the “Scontrino” conservatory gym, initially with a minimum annual rent of 5,000 euros over 15 years, then changed to 7,000 euros over 10 years.
The redevelopment of the structure includes a series of interventions for the internal renovation of the gym and range from the replacement of fixtures to the rehabilitation of framed structures up to the improvements planned from the offices to the changing rooms.
Two other gyms in the process of recovery
“We are extremely satisfied with this further step forward which, in a very short time, allows us to accelerate as much as possible towards the recovery of another gym in our city – declare the Mayor Giacomo Tranchida and the Sports Councilor Emanuele Barbara – thanks to another very valid sports association that decided to invest by presenting us with a detailed plan which obviously also includes social inclusion for a neighborhood like Milo where there is great need. In the meantime, work continues on the “Pinco” gym on the coast road where the changing rooms were demolished a few days ago and will be rebuilt much larger and more comfortable and we hope to soon give great news for two other historic gyms in Trapani”.
