The gym is due to commence trading in December.
BLAZESince its inception in March 2018 David Lloyd’s Blaze concept has gone from strength to strength.
The Blaze concept involves combining cardiovascular training with strength, boxing and martial arts skills, while syncing the workout to music. This gives participants a high intensity workout in a fast-paced and exciting environment. The classes also invite participants to wear heart rate monitors throughout the class which are linked to a TV monitor at the front. This allows class members to see the effort they are putting in and promotes healthy completion with each other.
Blaze has been incorporated into 30 existing David Lloyd gyms and is trading very successfully.
