Second site for Bonga gym in Mexico
Bonga Gym, Mexico's first low-cost gym chain, opened its second club last month in Mexico City.
This follows the launch of the inaugural site, also in Mexico City, in March. Measuring more than 1,200sq m, the gyms offer free weights, resistance and CV equipment from Matrix, plus group exercise classes. Complementing the fitness facilities are lounge areas, lockers, showers and changing rooms.
A gym-only membership costs around US$35 a month, while unlimited access to the gym and group exercise classes is approximately US$50 a month. Joining fees during pre-sale are US$45.
Bonga Gym is owned by private equity partners and Fernando Garcia, whose school nickname was 'Bonga'. Garcia plans to open a further five clubs over the next 12 months; five of the initial seven sites will be in Mexico City.
A second wave of development will see another 10 clubs being developed, both in Mexico City and in other main cities across the country.
