Esporta Gets Ready For Launch Of New Club In Guildford

Date: 24 Aug, 2004

Esporta is investing £4.75million with the launch of a state-of-the-art 25,000 square foot club in Queen Elizabeth Park, Guildford, on 13 September.  This will be Esporta's 62nd club and the final fitting process is now taking place.

Facilities include a 20m swimming pool, hydrotherapy spa, sauna and steam room.  An air-conditioned fitness arena and exercise studios, with a full timetable of high and low impact classes, will all feature the latest exercise equipment and fully qualified personal trainers. 

The club will also boast the latest spinning equipment, 'Revolution', complete with surround sound and plasma screens.  The first club in the UK to feature the concept, the blackened Revolution studio features spot lights to shine down on the state of the art bikes, and a large screen at the front of the studio plays motivating and stimulating visuals as the class progresses.  The Revolution air handling system fans and cools to provide a realistic outdoor atmosphere.

General manager Stuart Jenkins will manage 45 new recruits including health and fitness staff, a food and beverage team and sales consultants. 

CEO Neil Gillis comments: "Guildford is a great site for us with the perfect Esporta demographics, we are also the first national private health and fitness group to invest in Guildford.  Esporta is in great shape for both acquisitions and new developments and Guildford is one of many new clubs for us, with racquet developments planned for Bath and Swindon in 2005."
