Turkish operator MACFit is rolling out its low-cost concept following the launch of its first budget club in Ankara in January.

The brand now has eight clubs already in operation, with seven under construction in the cities of Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir and Adana. Six of these new clubs will open in August, with the seventh opening in September.

The operator will add a further six sites in Q4 – in Istanbul, Bursa and Izmir – to bring the total estate to 21 clubs by the end of the year.

MACFit clubs typically measure 1,800sq m, encompassing a Life Fitness and Le Monde-equipped gym, an indoor cycling studio and a separate group exercise studio. There’s also a TRX area. Free cardio, strength and flexibility classes are available, with personal training on offer at an additional cost.

Membership costs 55 Turkish lira (£15, €19) a month, plus joining fee – or just 45 Turkish lira if you commit to an annual contract – which includes group exercise classes.

MACFit prides itself on the high quality of its offering, in spite of the affordable price tag. With the opening of its new locations this year, it will be the largest operator of high quality, high value clubs in Turkey.
