T e Trainmore facilities in Utrecht are off ered free to those training three or more times a week Trainmore opens fi fth club
Dutch health club operator Trainmore has opened its fifth facility, in the city of Utrecht, Netherlands. The 1,700sq m club is located in an
attractive historic building, with a fitness suite equipped by Technogym. Members also have free use of the sauna, changing facilities, showers, lounge and group classes such as yoga, group cycling, Body Pump, dance and boxing. There is also access to additional services such as personal training, physiotherapy and nutrition/weight loss consultancy. The pricing structure at this fifth club
is the same as at Trainmore’s other sites. For the first quarter, membership costs €9.95 a week, but thereafter prices vary
according to how often members attend. If a member trains twice a week, they receive a 50 per cent reduction on their membership; those training three times a week can attend the gym for free. “As an entrepreneur, I not only want to
sell memberships but also a way of life,” says founder and owner Han Doorenbosch. “People today need to move much more than they do; we dream of getting the world more active. From day one at our new club, visit frequency has averaged 1.8 visits per member, per week, compared to a national average of 0.9 visits.” The chain has plans for further
expansion in the Netherlands, with two new sites already in the pipeline for 2013.
