easyGym set to launch in the UK in 2011

easyGroup to start a new venture, easyGym, in partnership with Fore Fitness, an entrepreneurial start-up
posted: 01 September 2010

easyGroup IP Licensing Ltd and Fore Fitness Limited are delighted to announce a brand licensing agreement that will enable Fore Fitness to operate and market the easyGym brand and the domain name www.easyGym.co.uk in the UK and various other countries.

easyGym's goal is to offer customers conveniently located quality gym facilities at affordable prices as it believes that consumers have been paying too much for too little. easyGym is looking to differentiate itself from the typical industry model through the strength of the 'easy' brand and the development of sophisticated business processes to provide a unique customer experience. There will now be no excuse for not leading a healthier lifestyle.

Commenting on the partnership, Paul Lorimer-Wing, Joint CEO of easyGym, said:

"Sir Stelios has developed 'easy', Europe's leading value brand. Securing the rights to use the 'easyGym' brand in the gym market is a significant achievement for Fore Fitness. The partnership offers an exciting platform for the business which is very much in line with our plan to deliver a fun, affordable, fitness and health driven product to consumers who are looking for something fresh and different, at a price reflecting great value."

Hassan Khalil, Chairman of easyGym also commented:

"We are delighted with this opportunity to provide affordable gym facilities to a wider market. With the help of Stelios and the 'easy' brand, we intend to establish facilities in the UK, Europe and beyond."

Sir Stelios, founder of the 'easy' brand, added:

"I am thrilled that in the midst of one of the most difficult economic environments in living memory there are still fellow entrepreneurs who are willing to set up businesses and have a go at shaking up yet another industry. As a gym user - admittedly perhaps not as often as I should - I have noticed many inefficiencies in the system and believe there is a simpler and more efficient way to cater for the needs of the consumer. Together with Fore Fitness and their investors we will aim to offer value for money in this sector. My own resolution following this deal is to go to the gym at least 3-4 times per week!"
