Active4Less opens ninth club

Independently-owned budget gym operator Active4Less has opened its ninth club in Burnham, Buckinghamshire.

located at the home ground of Burnham Football Club, the new site spans 5,000sq ft (464sq m) and offers a gym floor with CV and resistance stations, a TRX functional training zone and exercise studios offering classes such as zumba, boxercise and circuits.

Strength equipment includes pieces from Star Trac's Inspiration line while cardio kit features Star Trac's E-series range.

The official Spinning programme from Mad Dogg Athletics will also feature on the class timetable, using Spinner NXT bikes.

Burnham is the first Active4Less site to be equipped with Star Trac kit and following the installation there are now plans to upgrade all of Active4Less facilities with Star Trac equipment and roll out the official Spinning programme in all of the clubs.

Active4Less opened its first gym in Stevenage in 1999. There are no contracts and the concept is based on monthly memberships, which cost £15.95. An annual payment of £17 is paid by each member which is then reinvested into the club and spent on new equipment.

Bev Hahn, co-owner of Active4Less, said: "We believe that gyms should be more than just a place to exercise and adapted our offering to include nutritional guidance, fat loss seminars and workshops. We may be no-frills, but our core offering is strong.

"Members get a complete wellness package when they join Active4Less and this is what makes our business successful."
