Former JLS boy band singer Oritse Williams, boxer David Haye and Britain’s strongest man competitor Jay Hughes try out Crayford Weights & Fitness

Former JLS boy band singer Oritse Williams helped spread news of a gym extension that has opened at Crayford Retail Park.

And he wasn’t the only familiar face at the opening – former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye also turned up to work up a sweat as did Britain’s strongest man competitor Jay Hughes.

The new facility, which effectively creates two gyms in one, is part of Crayford Weights & Fitness, which opened five years ago at Tower Park Road.
