Gold's Gym signs Middle Eastern contract with Precor
POSTED 10 Aug 2011 . BY Tom Walker
Abu Dhabi-based Al Ahli Holding Group (AAHG), which recently signed a franchise contract with Gold's Gym International, has announced the agreement of an exclusive fitness equipment deal with Precor.

AAHG, a multi-disciplined company that operates throughout the UAE, has plans for massive expansion of the Gold's Gym franchise in the Middle East, beginning with 26 gyms in the UAE, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain.

The first three sites are set to open in the next three to 11 months.

The franchise agreement also includes the opportunity to open a further 66 Gold's Gyms in key areas - from South Africa and Morocco to Cyprus and Jordan - bringing the total to more than 92 facilities in 13 countries over the next 10 years.

The partnership will see Precor support AAHG's expansion of the Gold's Gym's franchise in the Middle East by supplying CV equipment for the new clubs, including touchscreen treadmills, EFXs and AMTs, all from the new Experience 880 line.
