First énergie site opens in Barcelona fully equipped by Core Health & Fitness

16 Nov 2021
The club has been awarded as an official Nautilus Trusted Centre, featuring products from the Nautilus Impact, Inspiration and Leverage ranges
The first énergie Fitness club in Spain has opened in partnership with Core Health & Fitness in Sant Cugat, Barcelona, as part of a seven-year exclusive supplier agreement.

Peter Rigg, director of UK sales for Core Health & Fitness says: “This club is a great example of the Energie Iberia club concept. We look forward to assisting énergie and its franchisees with their growth over the coming years.”

The club has all five of Core’s brands; Star Trac cardio equipment, StairMaster HIIT products, Nautilus commercial strength products, Schwinn indoor cycling bikes and Throwdown for functional fitness solutions.

The equipment makes up a large gym area, plus three boutique group studios;
• A group cycling studio featuring Schwinn AC Power bikes.
• The YARD - which is a boot camp concept combining boxing, functional strength and HIIT principles.
• A multi-purpose/holistic studio – ‘Zenergie’ with a variety of programmes to suit every members’ needs.

Rod Hill, president of Energie Fitness Spain and international managing director, says: “We’ve established a very strong working relationship with all the team at Core, both internationally and locally in Spain which has made our installation in Barcelona a major success.

“Both we and our members are thrilled with the range of equipment we can offer under the Core umbrella. Being able to offer great brands like Star Trac, Nautilus, StairMaster, Schwinn and Throwdown gives us a unique range for both our members and franchise partners to choose from.

“We’d like to thank the Core team for its support in Spain and for helping to make the first club such a success.”

The club was opened by the mayor of San Cugat and was well attended for its opening day – and with more than 900 pre-sold memberships before opening, the club looks to be busy right from the outset.

Jason Hill, senior key account manager EMEA, says: “It’s been great working with Rod Hill, George Houtenbos and the énergie team to create new concepts for the Spanish market. Seeing the club come together shows what can be achieved when veterans in fitness operations and experts in the best fitness solutions come together in such a strong partnership.”

The club has been awarded as an official Nautilus Trusted Centre, featuring products from the Nautilus Impact, Inspiration and Leverage ranges. Nautilus invented the entire modern strength category over 50 years ago and is the number one brand for high-quality products, reputability and trustworthiness.

Eve Rodwell-Davies, EMEA marketing manager, adds: “We’re proud to endorse this facility as an official Nautilus Trusted Strength Centre and look forward to using this flagship site for énergie in Spain to show future customers.”

This location is the first of many énergie clubs to come to Spain and marks the start of a rapid expansion plan, with more sites already being negotiated in other parts of Barcelona for the near future.

Plans for the next 12 months
We are celebrating StairMaster’s 40th anniversary and launching the StairMaster 4G. Designed to fit perfectly into hospitality and multihousing training centres, the 4G is the StairMaster solution when size matters!

Star Trac launches the Virtual Bike, the most versatile bike, giving the rider an unlimited experience. The Virtual Bike is purpose-built to withstand the rigours of a commercial cardio floor and meet the needs of non-staffed vertical market spaces such as hospitality and multi-housing amenity centres.

Core offers more customisation options with Throwdown rigs that are built-to-fit for a standout piece that optimises space. The total-body workout on the HIIT Ski and HIIT Rower brings the natural mobility of sport to the training zone.

Together with our partners, we create the best fitness offerings with the most recognised brands worldwide.

Testimonial
“We chose Core Health & Fitness for several reasons, the main one was that we were able to get the majority of the equipment we wanted from one place at a competitive price.

The Star Trac and Stairmaster brands have been big favourites of our members in our Taunton gym so we were keen to make them a central part of our new gym in Plymouth.

Schwinn was a natural choice for our indoor bikes and we’ve been really pleased with the AC Power in our classes.

Throwdown became available as we were looking to equip our functional areas, we took a gamble on the rigs and it paid off. Our HIIT classes and functional areas have the rigs as a central focus providing multiple options for each workout.

As a gym we have a strength and resistance focus so choosing the right plate loaded equipment was really important, we were really impressed by the focus that Nautilus places on the smooth and intuitive way each piece of equipment functions so we bought most of the range! We are proud to be a Nautilus Trusted Strength Centre and our members are really enjoying the kit.”
