But recently, a major overhaul was made there, which radically transformed the sports facility.
The treadmills and gates were repaired, a drainage system was installed and an artificial turf was laid.
According to Sports.ru, a complete renewal of the coverage, taking into account the purchase of equipment, cost 36 million rubles.

Finnan's Champions League winner's medal is up for sale
Liverpool fans celebrated the 15th anniversary of their Champions League triumph this year.
Then their favorites in Istanbul made a football miracle, having recouped from the score 0: 3 and snatching victory from Milan in a penalty shootout.
Unfortunately, not all of the participants in that legendary match are doing well.
After completing his career, ex-defender of the Merseysides and the Irish national team Steve Finnan decided to invest in the construction business and, together with his brother, created a company.
According to British media reports, over time, a quarrel broke out between the relatives, which led to bankruptcy.
As a result, the company announced the termination of its existence, and the titled footballer was in debt.
To solve his financial problems, he was forced to go to extreme measures and put up for auction several memorabilia from the Champions League final.
Anyone can purchase a T-shirt and a copy of the cup, and the most valuable exhibit is the tournament winner's medal.
For her Finnan expects to help out from € 3 thousand to 17 thousand. Other awards of the Irishman, won by him in England, as well as a commemorative watch and jersey are also on sale.
RPL had to apologize for the like
The match of the 11th round of the Russian Premier League (RPL), in which Spartak beat Khimki on the road with a score of 3: 2, was remembered for a controversial episode.
On the 58th minute, a penalty kick was awarded to the Moscow Region team after Arseny Logashov hit Ezequiel Ponce's face with his boot.
Aleksandr Kokorin scored a goal from the point.
However, the appointment of the 11-meter kick caused indignation among some fans, who considered that the referee was suing Spartak.
They expressed their outrage in the comments on the RPL's official Youtube account.
“The judge gave the mini pigs a penalty,” wrote one fan.
Unexpectedly, the RPL profile was among the rated comments.
After some time, the like disappeared along with the recording, and the league press service had to explain.
“The staff member in charge of channel moderation has mistakenly liked this comment.
The comment itself has been deleted and the employee will be subject to disciplinary action.
We apologize for this mistake, "- quotes the statement of RPL" Championship ".

Dziuba apologized to the Hulk, Lovren called Orlov a driver
While Euro 2020 is postponed until next year, the organizing committee of the Russian part of the tournament is trying in various ways to brighten up the expectations of the fans.
On his Youtube channel, he publishes funny shows and quizzes, in which football stars take part.
The guests of the next program were Zenit footballers Artyom Dzyuba and Deyan Lovren.
They were asked to recognize famous people associated with blue-white-blue by fragments of portraits.
Both easily identified Sergei Semak, Serdar Azmun, Alexander Vasyutin, Yuri Zhirkov, Anatoly Tymoshchuk, Andrei Arshavin, Sebastian Driussi and Malcolm.
Both Dziuba and Lovren did not recognize the former Zenit striker Hulk.
If this was forgivable for the Croat, since he did not intersect with the Brazilian on the same team, then the Russian had to apologize.
However, Lovren himself had an oversight.
He not only did not recognize the famous commentator Gennady Orlon, but completely confused him with another person.
“This is my driver Sergei, no?” Asked the defender.
