The Gym Group is to undertake a review of its existing supplier contract with Matrix and is seeking proposals from a number of leading equipment providers in the health sector.
A company spokesperson told Health Club Management the chain has issued a request-for-proposals (RFP) to Life Fitness, Technogym, Precor, Cybex and Matrix for the supply of gym equipment including resistance, cardiovascular, free weight and ancillary functional training equipment.
The Gym Group CEO John Treharne recently outlined the company’s ambitious expansion plans – both in the UK and overseas – as it moves to regain momentum following the failed merger with rival Pure Gym. The equipment RFP, to be overseen by The Gym Group COO Jim Graham and finance director Andrew Mathews, covers the supply of the company’s existing 47 gyms – many of which will be receiving updated and additional equipment – and the aggressive expansion which will double the size of the group over the next two to three years.
“As The Gym Group continues to grow very quickly, we feel the time is right to undertake a thorough review of our supplier base,” said Graham.
“We are running a closed tender process and are looking forward to speaking to suppliers who are able to meet our exacting requirements to provide the highest quality state-of-the-art equipment and ensure it is always available to our members.”
A typical fit out for one of The Gym Group’s sites encompasses around 200 pieces of modern equipment, a service which has been provided by Matrix since 2008.
