Fabryka Formy launches new budget brand

Polish full-service fitness chain Fabryka Formy is expanding its offering by launching a chain of budget clubs.

The first low-cost club – operating under the newly established Step One brand – opened at a retail and shopping complex at the city of Piotrkow in April. This will be followed by further sites at Bydgoszcz, in August, and Poznan (date to be confirmed).

The first site in Piotrkow has recently been kitted out by Core Health & Fitness, including new Star Trac cardio, Inspiration strength and StairMaster’s AirFit UB and Airfit Bike.

In addition to dedicated CV and strength areas, the club offers a free weights area, fight zone and a 200sq m group exercise space offering a number of classes, including Les Mills programmes such as CXworx and Shbam. Personal training is also available.

Each Step One club will be open 24 hours a day, with membership priced at 59 Polish zloty (around £11.50 / €13.50) a month.

The development of the chain will be headed by Pawe? Ciszek.
