"David Prowse was a true local legend, not just for what he achieved on screen, but for the way he inspired people to stay active and give back to their community."
"Croydon Calisthenics started from informal meet-ups into an organised community interest company, helping shape the design of the gym to cater to various fitness levels."
The David Prowse Gym has opened in Addiscombe Recreation Ground, south London, honoring the actor's legacy and community contributions. It is designed as a free, accessible fitness space for all ages and abilities. The gym's opening coincides with Star Wars Day on May 4. The naming was proposed by the local Residents' Association and approved by Croydon mayor Jason Perry. Prowse, known for his role in Star Wars and as the Green Cross Code Man, was a local figure promoting healthy living.
