Gym Group looks to expand after membership increases one-third to 730,000 in four months to end of June
Britons are heading back to the gym in big numbers as they look to get back into shape after the lockdowns of the past year and seek out the extra space to exercise away from home.
The Gym Group has said its membership numbers increased by one-third to 730,000 in the four months to the end of June, as 183,000 new recruits made a beeline for its treadmills and weight benches. The clamour means the company now plans to open 40 more gyms, in a push that could include a move into empty shops.
