PureGym, the UK’s largest gym group, is set to open 200 new venues across the country and Switzerland. The expansion plan includes opening 40 to 50 company-owned gyms in the UK this year, with a majority of those expected to open within the UK. The group, which operates over 600 gyms with around 370 in the UK, has seen strong performance from its new gyms in recent months, giving it confidence in its continued expansion programme. The move comes as several other major retailers are also expanding their presence on UK high streets, including Aldi, Asda, B&M, Greggs, Home Bargains, Primark, Screwfix, Tesco, WHSmith, and Lidl.
