Fitness First expands in Kuwait with new shopping mall site
Fitness First has announced the launch of its third health club in Kuwait.
The premium health club, located in the Sama Sulaibikhat shopping mall, offers separate facilities for men and women, with the men’s club located on the second floor of the mall, and the ladies’ on the fourth.
The men’s club features a full CV and resistance gym complemented by extensive strength and freestyle areas. There's also a luxury relaxation area housing a spa pool and sauna, and a members' lounge with complimentary wifi and drinks.
In addition to the above mentioned facilities, the ladies-only club provides a variety of purpose-built group exercise studios offering classes from Zumba, BodyPump and TUFF to group cycling, yoga and pilates.
Announcing the launch, Praveen Bhatnagar, CEO of Landmark Hotels and Wellness – which owns and operates Fitness First under licence in the Middle East – said: “Our studies show that obesity has been a growing health concern in Kuwait, which was ranked amongst the top 10 fattest countries in the world by Forbes Magazine. We've ventured into this region with a mission to bring about a health wave among Kuwaitis and are confident that we will set the ball rolling.”
Fitness First now plan to expand further in Kuwait, with clubs in Salam Mall, Salmiya (ladies-only) and Sama Mall, Fintas (men-only and ladies-only). In addition, its pipeline for the region includes two clubs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and a further club in Dubai.
