The gym also benefits from free parking for up to two hours and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Located in Bournemouth town centre, Richmond Gardens Shopping Centre offers a range of occupiers, attractions, and brands including Prevail skate park and Centre VR, amogst others.
Sam Cohen, asset manager at Evolve Estates, said: “We are delighted to have been able to introduce JD Gyms. The opening has brought significant investment to the centre and repurposing a large empty space will invigorate the area and provide an excellent alternative to other fitness facilities nearby.”
