Oxygen Pro – a brand new luxury fitness facility – opened in Tehran, Iran, on 1 July.

Oxygen has been designed to cater for young professionals up to elite athletes. The 2,600sq m (27,986sq ft) gym makes Oxygen Pro one of the largest health and fitness centres in Iran. Other facilities at the new club include a pool, sauna, spa and group exercise studio.

Pulse Fitness has provided over 200 pieces of CV, resistance and group fitness equipment to the new gym, including over 100 pieces of Evolve Strength equipment, 20 Group Cycle bikes for indoor cycling classes, and 40 machines from the Series2 cardio range. The deal was negotiated by AKA Fitness, a Pulse-approved local dealer.

With membership costing US$100–200 (€75-150, £60-120) a month, the offering is clearly pitched at the higher end of the market, with the owners reporting that facility size, design and equipment mix is like nothing else in the area. Providing a personal training service is also said to be unique for this area of Iran.

Oxygen Pro is part of the O2 Group, which already operates one other health club in the country: Oxygen Royal. Another Oxygen will open in the west end of Tehran in less than a year.
