Savills is focused on attracting high-quality tenants to the centre while creating a well-rounded mix that serves both the centre and the wider community. Welcoming a renowned brand like The Gym Group not only enhances the offering, but also strengthens the long-term appeal of the offer, ensuring it remains a vibrant destination.”

Abbie Scudamore, senior property acquisitions manager at The Gym Group, added: “Our new gym in Shepherd’s Bush will be a fantastic addition to our gyms around the country and part of our 10-12 new gyms open in 2024. Working with the team at Savills and Arcane Real Estate, we have identified a great site to bring our affordable, no-contract, high-quality fitness offer to new members in West London.”
