Now, regular readers of piccadillymanchester.com will know that we are here to promote everything that’s going on in the Piccadilly part of town. Of course we are biased, but Piccadilly really does have a lot to offer both visitors and residents; great food and drink venues, open green space and some fantastic apartments. Something always been missing though. A public gym. So we were pleased to hear a few months ago that a gym was coming on City Tower. Even better, when The Gym Group moved in, we met up with them and were pleased to find they were happy to get on board with the Piccadilly Partnership and its aims!

Now for the blurb; the gym is over 15,000 sq ft in size and will offer great views over Piccadilly Gardens. It is open 24 hours a day (that’s right, some people do want to workout at 3am), 7 days a week and with a pre-opening offer of just £9.99 per month membership, its client list is growing daily.

The Gym Group chain is a revolutionary concept in UK health clubs; they provide a cost effective, no contract, online membership to their state-of-the-art equipped gyms; all you need to join online are valid bank details. You don’t have to sign anything and can cancel without notice. After the pre-opening offer ends, there is a set price of £14.99 per month. The economical monthly fees makes expenditure on personal fitness, often deemed a ‘luxury’, far more feasible than other competition.

The Gym provides more than 170 pieces of state-of-the-art equipment in a modern and spacious environment that is affordable to all in a way that will fit into the busiest of lives. There are NO hidden catches which has helped to support the Gym’s ever growing success.

With facilities already open in the South East and over 10 further openings planned across the North of England as well as London and the South East throughout 2010, The Gym is the biggest and fastest low cost gym operator in the UK.

The Gym will be open for public viewings from 16th November - for further information visit www.thegymgroup.com
