Gym operator to open 37,000 sq ft space at Manchester Arndale

Gym operator XtraFit is set to join Manchester Arndale after signing a 20-year lease for a 37,000 sq ft unit at the scheme.

The growing brand will open on Market Street, offering a range of activities such as Hyrox, run clubs, and classes. Alongside its equipment, XF Gym also provides massage and tanning facilities for its customers.

XtraFit – which also has locations in Liverpool and Dudley – adds to a leisure offering at Manchester Arndale which includes the likes of King Pins and Urban Playground.
