British firm to open 30 fitness clubs throughout the country

By the end of this year the company plans to open two clubs under the brand Shape, in Galeria Mokotów and Arkadia, and another club under the brand of Holmes Place, which is the higher end brand in the Hilton hotel, also located in Warsaw. "Within a period of five years we plan to open around 30 such clubs in Poland," said Jonathan Fisher, Holmes Place Group general director. He also disclosed that the company has already 600 members who have purchased membership cards. Representatives of the company estimate that until the end of this year the number of members should grow to around 3,000 people, who will sign up for an annul membership, paying a monthly fee of zł.200. The opening of the three clubs in Warsaw will cost the investor around EUR 8 million. (Puls Biznesu, p. 12) A.K.
