Fitness and wellbeing chain set to open fourth venue in prestigious Yorkshire city
The Ultra Flex gym and fitness chain is planning to open a fourth venue, in York.
The business has taken a 10-year lease on the former Topps Tiles premises on Layerthorpe. It is due to be refurbished to provide a 11,000 sq ft gym complex including a main gym, studio, café, physiotherapy facilities and barber shop.
The new York gym will feature free weights as well as cardio and resistance machines, a 25m prowler track, nutritional supplements and sun beds.
Manager of Ultra Flex York, Mike Motanov, said: “Layerthorpe is a great location, close to the city centre while offering lots of parking for our members.
“The premises also gives us plenty of space to feature a huge range of high quality exercise kit from all over the world which is proving so popular at our other gyms.
“The business has an ongoing relationship with Clarion, we trust them to give good advice and they were as efficient as ever in helping us to secure this lease.”
Expected to open for business in May, the York venue aims to complement the popular Ultra Flex gyms in Leeds, Normanton and Rotherham.
Grace Allison of Clarion’s property team advised Ultra Flex.
