Our purpose is to break down barriers to fitness for all. Our ambition is to deliver this in an entirely sustainable way, enabling people to live healthier, more rewarding lives within the natural balance of the planet. We recognise our responsibility to deliver long-term value in financial, environmental, social and ethical terms. 

By consistently improving the member experience in our gyms, growing the estate with excellent new sites and continually refining our operating model, we deliver sustainable, profitable growth whilst providing everyone with the opportunity to start their journey towards a fitter, healthier and happier life.
