Nad Miyan has been appointed to head the operations of the énergie team in the Middle East.

The appointment follows an announcement earlier this year that the énergie Group has expanded its operations into the Middle East via the Master Franchise granted to Ghanim Bin Saad Al Saad & Sons Holding Group. Miyan began his career in Canada, after completing his education in the UK and US.

He has opened and operated clubs in Canada, UK, Lebanon, Egypt, Qatar, UAE, Jordan and Bahrain and has been based in the Middle East for the past 13 years.

He also ran his own consultancy business across the Middle East and North Africa for 6 years with clients that included: The Nautilus Clubs, Beirut, Lebanon; Gold's Gym, Qatar and KSA; Intercontinental Hotels, MENA; Apple Fitness, KSA and Accor Hotels.

A spokesperson for énergie said: "Nad's industry passion, integrity and goal-oriented approach has achieved seamless synergy with the core values of the énergie Group."

The first énergie branded site will open in Doha this November.
