23rd September 2025 | Jack Oliver

XF Gym has opened a new location at St Johns Shopping Centre in Liverpool city centre.

The gym operator has opened a 30,000 sq ft space within the former Wilko unit, following a £5m fit-out.

Features of the new space include: an open-plan workout zone; a bespoke Hyrox space; a variety of group classes including spin, yoga, Pilates, boxing, and dance; and spa spaces such as saunas, showers, and sunbeds.

XF Gym joins a number of brands at St Johns such as JD Sports, Storm, Aldi, Liverpool FC Store, Sainsbury’s, Home Bargains, Argos, and Matalan. In more recent years the 540,000 sq ft scheme has added to its line-up of retailers, and is now home to a mix of cafés, bars, restaurants, a hotel, and a Boom Battle Bar leisure venue.

Neil Ashcroft, centre director at St Johns Shopping Centre, said: “St Johns, always known for its mix of national and local retailers, has become more than a shopping centre. It is a place to meet, to eat, to relax, to be entertained, and now to train and thrive. This opening is another big step in making St Johns Liverpool’s most accessible destination for retail, lifestyle and leisure.”
