Gogo launches fifth and sixth club in Finland
POSTED 05 Jan 2012 . BY Tom Walker
Finnish health club operator GoGo Liikuntakeskus has opened its fifth club, with
the sixth scheduled to open later in January.

The chain, owned by entrepreneurs Taru Vähätalo and Päivi Aholaita-Mäenpää, operates two distinct brands: the full-service GoGo clubs and the low-cost gym brand GoGo Express.

GoGo Express Seppälä, which opened in Jyväskylä at the end of October, is the operator's third budget site, while GoGo Hermia will be the third full-service club in the chain when it opens this month in the city of Tampere.

Equipped by Life Fitness, Concept and Sterling, the 1,100sq m GoGo Express
Seppälä charges just €18 a month – believed to be the lowest monthly membership fee in the country.

Members have access to top quality facilities and equipment 365 days a year,
including a 200sq m free weights area, virtual group cycling and a café.

Meanwhile GoGo Hermia, in Tampere, is a 2,000sq m new build club. For €40-€60 a month, members have access to two large group fitness studios, a group cycling
studio, large Star Trac gym, free weight and cardio areas, functional training area, core zone, Finnish saunas and free childcare.
