Each new gym will provide a minimum of 120 exercise stations trust to launch budget chain
Leisure trust Kirklees Active Leisure (KAL), which operates community leisure services in West Yorkshire, is planning to open two budget gyms in the Huddersfi eld and Dewsbury areas. The non-profi t KAL currently
manages 11 sports centres and swimming pools on behalf of the local council and is looking to become the fi rst budget gym operator in the region. Plans are to be developed further
over the coming months, with the aim of a late summer 2011 opening for the Huddersfi eld site. Each new gym will provide a minimum of 120 exercise stations – a combination
of CV and resistance – with equipment to be provided by Technogym. KAL chair David Heddon says:
“Budget gyms are a way of expanding and reaching those who want to focus on using fi tness equipment and attending classes at a reasonable price. “We’re looking to expand our
portfolio and run this new membership option alongside our other quality products and services.” It’s expected that KAL’s budget gym
memberships will be priced at around £15 a month. Membership will include access to a range of group exercise classes, as well as to the gym.
half a million members to vote for clubs
Entries are fl ooding in for the inaugural Health Club Awards. The competition is unique because,
unlike other awards, the winners are voted for exclusively by members, who rate their club on the level of service and facilities. This makes the awards a true mark of each club’s ability to meet the different needs and requirements of their clients. Simon Brown, MD of Awards for
Business – which owns the new awards – says: “By asking members, we’ll find out who’s giving the best membership value in regions around the UK. The awards are designed to help clubs promote themselves in their area.
january 2011 © cybertrek 2011 “We’re providing every club that
takes part with a personalised media pack to help kickstart their marketing. “The competition will also encourage
staff to communicate with members, making them more aware of the facilities and creating a more friendly and relaxed atmosphere in clubs”. Over half a million health club
members will currently have the chance to vote for their club during the voting period, which runs from January to March 2011. Clubs can sign up to the competition for free until the end of this month. To fi nd out more, go to
