An online network that allows members of the public to locate gyms and book sessions on a pay-as-you-go basis without the need for membership fees has expanded to Manchester.

The payasUgym concept was launched in London and the South East by entrepreneurs Neil Harmsworth and Jamie Ward earlier this year and is now planning a UK expansion.

A number of clubs across the Manchester area have already signed up to the network, which is designed for those who commute to work and who cannot commit to a single location.

Customers are given the opportunity to load credit into a free online account, before buying a voucher that can be used to visit and participate in sessions at participating gyms.

Ward said: "As a flexible gym service provider we know that people want to use payasUgym.com wherever they may be at that particular moment.

"Launching in Manchester will help us meet these demands and we now plan to be present in every town and city across the UK over the coming months."

James Worrall from Pure Balance UK at Manchester's Skyline Central added: "People in Manchester will really appreciate the opportunity to use the gym on a more flexible basis."
