Mark Rees, General Manager of The Gym Oxford Headington, said: “We’re excited to open a fantastic new gym space in Oxford Headington and hope to break down any barriers to fitness people from the local community may have to help them achieve their personal goals.
“The Gym Group welcomes people from all walks of life and with a dedicated team of personal trainers, we offer the ideal space to train, tone-up or improve overall fitness no matter who you are, your ability, shape or size.”
It is the second training space from The Gym Group to launch in the county and offers members more than 100 pieces of high-spec training equipment over 12,000 square feet.
This equipment includes plate-loaded strength equipment, a large free weights area, Olympic lifting platforms, functional training spaces and cardio machines.
As well as this, members can pick from a range of unlimited free gym classes such as HIIT or circuits.
The Gym Oxford Headington will also bring new employment opportunities to the area, with 10 members of staff across personal training, management, and cleaning.
The Gym Oxford Headington is one of five gyms opened by the business nationwide on the same day, including Bury St Edmunds, Barrow-in-Furness, Glasgow Forge and London Staples Corner.
The Gym will continue to follow its ‘Safe With Us’ policy to ensure health and safety measures are followed in line with current government guidance.
This includes regular cleaning of gym and studio spaces, hygiene stations for members to wipe down benches and equipment, as well as hand sanitiser throughout the training space.
People who want to join the gym can take up an introductory membership offer of £9.99 a month for the first six months and no joining fee. The offer is due to end on December 30.
