Staffordshire’s biggest gym to open this weekend

The biggest gym, spa and fitness centre to be built in Staffordshire opens its doors in Stoke-on-Trent this weekend.

The three-storey M Club is housed in a huge 70,000 sq ft expansion of the Waterworld leisure resort at Festival Park.

The centre has more than 300 pieces of equipment, and will open its doors at 8am on Saturday.

“I can confidently say that this gym boasts the biggest range of fitness equipment you’ll find in any other gym in the UK,” said M Club owner and founder Mo Chaudry.

“This is the biggest single project I have ever done – I wanted to create the best gym in Staffordshire. It’s lovely to be involved in a business I’m so passionate about, and which improves people’s lifestyles.”

Much of the equipment in the new M Club has been provided by Pulse Fitness, including top-of-the-range treadmills, cross trainers with up to 40 resistance levels, upright and recumbent cycles, line steppers, rowers, and lateral trainers.

The fitness facility also features a training zone, a free weights area, and a 50-metre indoor running track.

Cardio consoles include touch screens with smartphone operating systems and virtual video training programmes.

The spa area includes a swimming pool, plus sauna, steam room, plunge pool, hydrotherapy pool, and heated seating.

There are also two rooms for physiotherapy and sports massage, a large yoga studio, ladies-only gym area, spinning studio and another large studio area which will be used for fitness classes.
Chaudry said: “We already have a fantastic base of members at M Club, but we hope that this is going to allow us to continue our growth.

“Times have been tough for everyone this year, so it is nice to be able to do something really positive like this for the people of Stoke-on-Trent.”

The opening of the new M Club comes just days after the official launch of a new 36-hole indoor Adventure Mini Golf attraction at Waterworld leisure resort.

The water park has also been expanded, and is now home to some of the largest and fastest water rides in the UK.
