A study by PwC has found that there’s room for an additional 600-800 affordable gym locations across the UK. The Gym Group is keen to set up shop in densely populated urban areas where they can be easily seen and reached, either by car or public transport. They’re looking for spaces ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 square feet and can be spread over two levels. These sites will attract plenty of visitors as The Gym Group is highly regarded in the cost-effective fitness market.
Gyms like The Gym Group are crucial for encouraging fitness and wellness in the community. This group was the pioneer in calculating the social benefits it produces through promoting regular exercise. It is also ahead of the curve in environmental goals, being the first fitness company to have its net-zero emissions targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.
Andy Hall from Savills, who’s in charge of Out of Town Retail, expresses his excitement about helping The Gym Group grow. Owing to the firm’s widespread presence and expertise in both the retail and leisure sectors, Savills is in a strong position to discover many promising locations for The Gym Group’s expansion across the UK.
Will Orr, the CEO of The Gym Group, is eager to start this partnership with Savills to propel their Next Chapter growth strategy. They’ve got a clear idea about what makes a gym successful and are focusing on securing the best spots for their gyms to provide their members with even more options for affordable, high-quality fitness.
