Zynk has created a new purpose-built facility to cater for local members with separate male and female areas
Oman-based fitness operator Horizon has revealed plans to increase the number of clubs in its portfolio from 23 to 37 over the next four years.
Founded in 1997, Horizon has gradually grown to become Oman’s largest health club chain and supplier of fitness equipment and corporate wellness solutions.
As part of its expansion plans, it has appointed UK-based gym designer zynk to create a new brand identity and "interior personality" that will form a blueprint for all its new clubs over the next 10 years.
First to adopt the new-look gym interior and design will be a 30,000sq ft (2,787sq m) site in Mabela, Muscat.
Zynk has created a new purpose-built facility to cater for local members with separate male and female areas – as well as providing unisex zones for the expat community.
Facilities at the site will include two separate swimming pools (one for ladies only), large resistance and cardio zones, an extensive functional fitness zone with training rig and running track plus spinning and group exercise studios.
“We're looking to create a distinctive character for the interior of our clubs that will remain relevant for the next 10 years," said Azzan Albarram, Horizon MD.
Work on the Mabela club is due to start later this year.
Italian Exhibition Group – the organiser behind industry events Dubai Active and Dubai Muscle

to look back on the impact the pandemic had on the sector and what might come next.
