JD Gyms opens at Sheet Anchor Evolve's Richmond Gardens Shopping Centre, Bournemouth

JD Gyms has opened at Richmond Gardens Shopping Centre, in Bournemouth. 

The award-winning national gym chain has taken over the lease of the former Wilkos and after a three-month build, JD Gyms Bournemouth Central opened its doors last week.  

The unit has undergone a massive transformation into an industry-leading fitness space. The 30,000 sq ft facility offers cardio and strength equipment, a large free weights section, a dedicated glute zone, a functional Eleiko area, and a studio dedicated to Hybrid training.

Richmond Gardens Shopping Centre sits in the heart of Bournemouth town centre and offers a diverse selection of occupiers, attractions and familiar brands including Prevail skate park, Centre VR and others. Not only has the new gym created 20+ new jobs for the community it will provide residents with a value for money alternative to the existing gyms in the area.

The gym benefits from free parking for up to two hours and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Sam Cohen, Asset Manager at Sheet Anchor Evolve adds, “We are delighted to have been able to introduce JD Gyms. The opening has brought significant investment to the centre and repurposing a large empty space will invigorate the area and provide an excellent alternative to other fitness facilities nearby.” 

Amelia Worrall, Chief Operating Officer at The JD Gyms Group, says; “Bournemouth is a fantastic city location for us. We’re excited to be opening a world-class gym unlike anything currently in the area.”
