French health club operator Domyos Club has opened its latest site in Lille in November, its second in the city.

The club, which was created in just five weeks, is located in what's said to be the world's largest cycling mall - see www.btwin-village.com for further information.

The whole site is dedicated to cycling, with 3,000sq m of specialist retail stores, outdoor and indoor cycling tracks - including one to Olympic specifications - and the fitness club, Btwin Fit.

The club measures 1,500sq m, with one large group cycling studio (64 bikes), a fitness studio and 500sq m of cardio and weight training equipment.

The offering is similar to the concept at the operator's other sites, whereby monthly membership is complemented by a 'pay by the hour' option (5euro an hour) which the owners say contributes "significantly” to overall revenues".

Domyos is owned by the Oxylane Group, which also owns the Décathlon brand of retail outlets and sports kit.
