Go fit offers large, full service clubs
GO fit – part of the Ingesport group, which runs full service health and fitness clubs in Spain and Portugal – has unveiled aggressive expansion plans for both Spain and Portugal.
The first Portugese club opened this February in Olivais, Lisbon, and has 13,000 members. Work is now underway on a second club – in Campo Grande, Lisbon – which will open next year. Negotiations are underway on a further eight sites in Portugal.
Meanwhile, there are 12 operational clubs in Spain, including one corporate club in the premises of Telefonica, and contracts have been signed for seven more. The next Spanish site opens in Madrid in December 2015.
Operations director Joao Galileu says the company aims to make fitness accessible to all user groups: “We offer big facilities, high quality equipment, the best programmes and the ultimate in technology to support the member experience. GO fit’s mission is to provide sport for all, to help people live longer and better lives.”
Centres typically span 7,500sq m (80,729sq ft), offering two swimming pools, five group exercise studios, a HIT area and a 1,000sq m (10,764sq ft) gym. Technogym supplies the equipment, including the Artis line, wellness key and mywellness.
It’s been five years since the fitness industry reopened after the last lockdown – long enough
to look back on the impact the pandemic had on the sector and what might come next.
Wattbike has announced a new integration with EGYM, which enables the bikes to contribute to
the Cardio BioAge score of individuals via a VO2 max result.
Les Mills has launched a reformer Pilates workout. The 45-minute workout blends traditional
reformer movements and more contemporary exercises, choreographed to music.
Panatta brought together four of the most influential figures in bodybuilding history on the
stage of RiminiWellness 2026: Phil Heath, Lee Haney, Ronnie Coleman and Hany Rambod. [more...]

According to research which tracked more than 147,000 people for 30 years, 90-120 minutes
of strength training a week may deliver some of the biggest long-term health rewards.
