Barcelona-based health club chain DiR has launched a new triathlon club, TRIDIR, introduced as a result of growing interest and participation in triathlon among DiR members. TRIDIR adopts a ‘club in club’
format using existing DiR facilities: the swimming sessions take place at the Diagonal club, which has a 50m swimming pool, while the running and cycling take place outdoors, in the urban environment of Barcelona. Cycling training is also delivered within the various DiR clubs, in the shape of group cycling sessions. The club is aimed at amateurs as well
as those who have already participated in some competitive events. It is open to
non-DiR members (€149 a year) as well as DiR members (€79 a year). Benefits of TRIDIR membership
include a personalised training timetable, access to clinics run by triathlon professionals, and nutritional advice. In addition, TRIDIR members have access to places in several triathlon competitions throughout the year. They are also able to enjoy discounts on a number of triathlon brands, such as Zoot and Sailfish, which offer triathlon-specific equipment, from bicycles to wetsuits and running shoes. Optional extra training sessions will
also be laid on by the fitness team for those wanting to prepare for specific triathlon events and competitions.

It has also started pre-sale on locations in New York Metro and Sydney, Australia, which will open by April 2013. UFC GYM will now begin to transform the boutique LA Boxing facilities, which average 5,000sq ft, to the UFC GYM format, introducing its

‘Train Different’ philosophy – the best of traditional fitness combined with mixed martial arts – to the LA Boxing facilities. UFC GYM now plans to roll out this
new model of boutique clubs globally, through franchise agreements. The first location under the new ownership opened in Chicago, US, late last month. “We were drawn to LA Boxing based
on the similarities in our brand DNA. We are thrilled to partner with the existing LA Boxing team and their franchisees in expanding our shared vision worldwide,” says Mark Mastrov, chair of NeV.

SportsArt revolutionary system that Saves Cost and Generates Green Energy
The SportsArt Green System is not just a concept but the first solution of its kind for health club owners and leisure centres who want to use cardio equipment to offset energy costs with human power.
The energy generated through the Green System products will reduce the building’s energy consumption and therefore reduce costs. The more ‘pods’ you install, the more energy savings you will achieve.
