Fit24, the independent health club operator which opened its first UK site in Hull two years ago, is planning to open a new 23,000sq ft (2,137sq m) gym in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
The Patrick Dudding-owned group has secured a 15-year lease for the unit at Trinity Walk shopping centre, with work now underway to fit out the gym ahead of its summer opening.
Facilities at the health club will include more than 100 pieces of Technogym equipment and two purpose-built exercise studios, as well as a sauna, steamroom and relaxation area.
Fit24 will be open and staffed 24 hours a day and the Wakefield site forms part of plans to expand the brand to a number of key locations across Yorkshire over the coming years.
Dudding said: "Our gyms are flexible, good value and accessible to a broad range of customers. Our business concept combines the quality and service of premium gym with an affordable £12.99 a month fee - which even includes the classes.
"Combining this formula together with a high footfall shopping centre location has proved very successful in Hull and the stunning unit at Trinity Walk - with views out over Grammar Square - provide us with the opportunity to improve the format further."
