Independently-owned budget chain truGym is to open its fourth health and fitness club in Bromley, Kent at the end of February.

The 14,000sq ft (1,300sq m) club will join sites in Maidstone, Peterborough and Plymouth in the portfolio. The equipment at each club has been supplied by Evolution Fitness.

All truGyms are open from from 6am to 10pm and are manned during opening hours. Monthly memberships begin at £12.99, which includes a selected range of group classes such as body pump. Yoga and Zumba are also available for extra cost.

According to Parm Singh, director and owner of truGym, the company is looking to expand aggressively and will also look to add franchising services.

"So far all clubs have been company-owned but we are looking to open our first franchised club later this year," Singh told Health Club Management.

"In fact we've very recently recruited our first franchisee so we're actively looking for a site for him to operate."

Singh added that he is looking to add seven further sites during 2012, bringing the number of truGyms to 11.
