Relaunch event

It was 2015 when PureGym took over the former Virgin Active site at Gallagher Leisure Park.

Since then, many gym-goers across both Bradford and Leeds have made good use of the facilities on offer.

The completion of the transformation was celebrated on Friday, October 25, with an official relaunch event where members were offered goodie bags and a chance to trial the new facilities.

PureGym continues to grow

Earlier this year, PureGym, which also has a site at Idle, said it plans to keep expanding with new gyms after opening 40 across the UK over the past year.

It came as the gym operator said the new sites helped drive a rise in revenues in 2023 amid a “challenging” economic backdrop for the business and customers.

The leisure company revealed that revenues grew 15 per cent to £549 million for the year, compared with 2022.
