Share price 258.71GBp MENU Home About us History HISTORY The Gym Group was founded in 2007 by its chief executive officer, John Treharne – a former England national team squash player with extensive experience in the health and fitness sector – and Bridges Ventures LLP. John and Bridges Ventures recognised that there was a significant opportunity in the UK health and fitness market for a low-cost gym offering, with low-cost gym membership in the UK being significantly lower in 2007 than in a number of other countries, including the United States and Germany, and with price being identified as the largest obstacle to gym participation in the UK. The founding concept was to provide high quality gym-only facilities to a wide demographic through 24 hour opening, no fixed-term membership contract and an affordable monthly membership fee. The first gym was opened in Hounslow in July 2008 and was declared "Budget Gym of the Year" at the National Fitness Awards in 2011. Over the subsequent years the Group has continued to open gyms across the country. In 2012 The Gym Group was awarded an "Investors in People" accreditation and the prestigious Silver award following in 2015. The business was ranked number 13 in the Sunday Times' "Virgin Fast Track 100" list in 2012 and featured in the list again in 2013 and 2014, as well as the Sunday Times BDO "Profit Track 100" list in 2014 and 2015 and the Sunday Times 100 “Best Small Companies to Work For” list in 2013 and 2014 with a 3 star accreditation. In June 2013, funds managed by Phoenix acquired a majority shareholding in the business through an equity investment in the Company and the purchase of a portion of Bridges Venture's funds' interest.
