Independent health club operator The Third Space is planning to open a number of new clubs in the capital. In an interview with Health Club Management (see p50 for the reprinted interview) CEO Eric Dunmore revealed that the chain was looking to implement its roll out plans that were delayed by the downturn. “When we launched the manage- ment buyout (in August 2007), the backing was for a ‘five clubs in five years’ plan, The recession affected everybody, ourselves included, so in my mind that five-year plan starts now,” said Dunmore. The first new club to open this
year will be in Piccadilly, London – a 15,000sq ft (1,400sq m) club that will be located at the Marylebone Hotel.
