Knutsford Anytime Fitness is the first leisure facility for the Hoyle family, who run a number of unrelated businesses, and will be managed by daughter Sophie Hoyle.
Sophie Hoyle, franchisee comments: “We really wanted to utilise the space as much as possible and with the demand for functional training on the increase the 2.5 sq m Queenax corner unit was a natural choice for us to include.”
Staff at the gym have already seen a keen interest in the Queenax unit and comment that ‘it’s eye catching design really captures the attention of potential customers during club tours’ and that ‘it is a real talking point among members who are eager to discover the different exercises they can do on this multi-purpose unit’.
Hoyle continues: “We chose Precor for the gym as we wanted to provide our members with high quality, innovative equipment. Their dedicated team worked with us to design the fitness suite for maximum space efficiency and they were extremely attentive to our needs and requirements. The installation went very smoothly and the after-care service has been excellent.”
Justin Smith, Head of UK at Precor states: “The Queenax unit is extremely versatile and the corner unit is perfect for Knutsford Anytime Fitness. Not only can members use it as a stand-alone piece of equipment but the gym is also providing group exercise classes teaching them how best to utilise it.”
