Pure Gym limbers up for 200th branch launch after reaching one million members

Leeds headquartered Pure Gym has reached the one million members milestone as it also announced plans to launch its 200th site.

The business said it continues to appeal to people across the country with 22% growth in members since the start of 2017.

Significant site expansion was also carried out last year, with the company opening 20 new gyms.

In 2018, Pure Gym has already opened seven new clubs and will open its 200th gym in the UK in Brighton in March.

Humphrey Cobbold, chief executive of Pure Gym, said: “This is a remarkable milestone for a company that is only eight years old. Pure Gym is not only the largest gym company in the UK but is also operating at a scale never achieved in the history of UK gym provision. We remain committed to making gym membership a possibility for everyone across the country whatever their ability or aspiration and are excited by the opportunity we have.”

Sir Chris Hoy, six times Olympic Champion and Pure Gym ambassador, said: “Over the last few years, Pure Gym has been pivotal in widening gym access in the UK, giving people who have previously never had the opportunity to join a local gym, access to affordable and high-quality facilities round the clock. Our facilities are high quality and fantastic value for money, offering people of all abilities all they could possibly want in a gym facility.”
