Founded in 2007 The Gym Group, is the original low-cost gym in the UK. Now with over 720 thousand members and more than 150 gyms we are the fastest growing gym business in Europe with over 22% of the UK low cost market. We have big growth plans aiming opening between 15 and 20 more gyms each year! Our 24/7, no contract, low-price offer is a compelling proposition that is transforming the UK health and fitness sector. Memberships start from just £12.99 a month and provide unlimited access to our high-quality fitness facilities and equipment, along with some of the most highly trained, qualified and friendly staff in the industry. We passionately believe in our goal to break down the barriers to fitness for all and that’s why we want talented people, like you, to join us and help make this happen. Together we work hard to give our members a better experience and are always looking for ways to improve in everything we do. That’s why our people are critical to our success. Our unique culture helps everyone to do their best work, fulfill their potential and achieve great things together. We make a very simple promise to our people – Your Gym, Your Purpose, Our Promise. This is critical to how we operate, we believe passionately that the Gym is in the hands of the General Manager and their team. It’s out role to support them, not the other way round. We aim for everyone who works for us to have a strong sense of purpose - this is our promise to every one of our amazing people.
