Pure Gym pushes forward with expansion
Low-cost health club chain Pure Gym is continuing to push forward with its UK expansion plans, with the forthcoming opening of new sites across the country.
One of the first new locations to open will be the London Oval club, which will be launched on 27 October ahead of sites in Cardiff (17 November) and Coventry (15 December).
Pure Gym will also open a club in Walton-on-Thames this winter, with the operator looking to have achieved 100,000 members by the end of the year.
The group's facilities are open 24 hours a day and offer more than 220 pieces of equipment, in additional to more than 40 classes each week.
In August, Pure Gym announced that it has secured £9m of fresh investment to move ahead with its "ambitious" expansion plans, with sites already open in a number of locations.
Speaking after securing the additional funding from its shareholders and Barclays Bank, the group's chief executive officer Peter Roberts laid out its current targets.
"We aim to grow to 28 gyms by the end of our financial year and 45 by the end of 2012," said Roberts.
