Revamp for Crayford Weights club
Independent ly-owned Crayford Weights and Fitness in Crayford, Kent, is set to open a new gym extension during May 2012. First launched in 2010, the
club acquired an adjacent unit at the Crayford Retail Park and has appointed functional fitness specialist Jordan Fitness to equip the space. The extension has doubled
the space available and the new facilities include a group exercise studio as well as a ladies-only gym and group cycling studio – as part of plans to attract more female users. Existing facilities at the club
also include an injury clinic, spray tanning and supplements, a therapy room and an on-site personal trainer service. Since launching in November 2010, Crayford Weights and Fitness has attracted more than 1,000 paying members. Sarah Howard, gym manager, says: “ We are
confident the new Jordan equipment will help attract more female users as members. “And the men won’t miss out as they are also getting free weights including power bags,
The club’s equipment was supplied by functional specialist Jordan
Olympic training discs and medicine balls in their newly refurbished zones.” Zak Pitt, sales director at Jordan Fitness,
says: “We’ve built a strong relationship with Crayford Weights and Fitness since its opening on 2010 and are delighted to see that the club’s membership has taken off to such a level that the owners are now expanding their gym space.” Details:
