“If the external environment becomes more challenging our value proposition will become even more attractive to consumers – the Gym Group opened its first gym in the wake of the financial crisis in 2008 and its model is designed to perform well in all types of economic conditions.”
The company reported a 19.4 per cent surge in members over the first half and now has 424,000 people on its books. The group, which listed on the stock market in November and has a growing Scottish presence, opened six new gyms in the period, bringing the total estate to 80.
