Irish gym chain FLYEfit is to open four new super gyms, creating 120 jobs.
It's part of a €10m investment in the company.
FLYEfit will open a new 20,000 st ft outlet at Dublin’s Northside Shopping Centre later this month, with three more gyms planned for the city.
Their locations in the city centre, northside and southside will be revealed over the coming months.
The company says it's seen unprecedented demand from customers who have taken up exercise during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Trends
Flyefit says: "The Covid-19 pandemic and the new model of hybrid working has changed everyone’s attitude to fitness. Thousands of people used the lockdowns to take up exercise and to get fit and the switch to hybrid working has helped workers to free up more time for exercise and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
"FLYEfit's expansion strategy is focused on strengthening our presence in cities and expanding into suburban areas. We have aligned that with industry trends such as the boom in running and cycling and invested in immersive equipment to help members to take their newfound hobbies and interest in fitness to the next level."
"We are delighted that more people than ever are prioritising their health and fitness. We are responding with the opening of four new gyms which will create 120 new jobs across all operations including roles for gym managers and personal trainers."
