At Berkeley's Holborough Lakes development near Snodland, maintaining your New Year's resolution to keep fit and healthy couldn't be easier.

As one resident, who uses the onsite private residents' gym, explains, location is the key. "I use the gym at least three times a week, it's brilliant, and a fantastic way to meet the neighbours," said Gillian Powell, who has lived in a two-bedroom apartment at the development for over two years.

"Being right on the doorstep means there is no excuse not to go, even in the winter months. Not only is it just a short walk away, it is actually cheaper than the local gym which I used to belong to.

"Plus there is plenty of equipment so there is no waiting around while someone finishes their workout, which is great.

"As well as being spacious, it has all the latest equipment and is always kept clean and tidy plus there is always someone on hand to help or give advice if you need them," added Gillian.

Managed by RAW Corporate Health, the gym features a variety of equipment from running machines, cross trainers, rowing machines and free weights allowing residents to keep fit all year round.

Plus, for those who enjoy the outdoors, the woods and green spaces that surround Holborough Lakes provide the perfect setting for a stroll with family or friends.

For the more enthusiastic resident, there are cycle paths around the development as well as the Nemes Diving and Water Sports Academy.

Holborough Lakes is a multi award-winning development made up of one and two-bedroom apartments and three, four and five-bedroom family houses with New England style pastel shaded weatherboarding, elegant verandas and sleek geometric lines.

The latest home to be unveiled is the Belvedere house style, an intricately designed five-bedroom townhouse, complete with parking at the front and a garage. Features include an individually designed kitchen with integrated appliances and stylish modern bathrooms.
