Leeds' Xercise4Less creates 80 jobs with North East expansion

Leeds-headquartered budget gym operator, Xercise4Less is expanding into the North East, creating 80 jobs.

The Yorkshire firm will be opening in North Shields and Gateshead the latter of which will be its 29th site

The chains’ 33rd site, North Shields opens on 30 April with its pre-sale starting 16 February and will span 30,000 sq ft.

Each site will hold 400 state of the art pieces of equipment including MATRIX cardiovascular fitness equipment and resistance machines.

Chief executive officer, Jon Wright said: “With Xercise4Less, we’ve set out to create ‘The People’s Gym’, realising members use the facilities for lots of different reasons.

“We’re here to ensure people of all ages, and fitness levels, can benefit from great facilities, with cost not being a barrier.

“The fitness industry has become very greedy and there’s no need to charge members sky high prices - a good gym can be run very economically.

“We’re expanding at a rapid rate and are excited about the developments in the North East, and across the UK, and will continue to extend our services over time to suit the needs of all our members”.

Xercise4Less now has over 180,000 members and currently has 25 sites with seven more to open by the end of April 2015.
