The Active Northumberland centre has undergone a £5 million refurbishment to improve sports and leisure facilities, create a wellness hub for the local community and give the centre a fresh and modern feel to it.
Funded by Northumberland County Council the work has taken place in three phases over the past two years.
Northumberland County Councillor Jeff Watson, cabinet member with responsibility for health lives said: "Over the last couple of years, the centre has been totally transformed with some fantastic new exercise facilities, equipment and services that will help enhance the health and wellbeing of the local community.

"I hope customers enjoy all that the new look centre has to offer and I encourage anyone who hasn't visited in a while to come along and try out the new facilities – I think they'll be very pleasantly surprised."
Other works that have been carried out in previous phases of the refurbishment work include the creation of a new state of the art gym and fitness area, two new fitness studios and new spa facilities.
The refurbished swimming pool hall, spectator area and modernised changing areas have been also proved a big hit with local residents.
In addition, there are new classrooms which will be used by the county council's Learning & Skills Service to provide a range of learning opportunities for the local community.
The funding for Blyth Sports centre has come from Northumberland County Council as part of a £65 million countywide investment programme to upgrade and transform sport and leisure facilities and to enhance the customer experience.
