FITNESS company PureGym is to open a 24-hour fitness facility on Poole’s Tower Park.

It will take over the premises previously occupied by LA Fitness, pictured right, which announced in July that it was closing.

PureGym says its new gym will be open by the end of this year, will cover 17,409 square feet and create up to 15 jobs.

It will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and include more than 200 pieces of gym equipment.

There will be more than 50 free classes a week, including zumba and bokwa.

There will be functional training zones with Kettlebells, Power Plate and TRX Suspension Trainers.

Becky Stubbs, general manager of PureGym Poole, said: “PureGym Poole will provide local residents with a fully equipped gym that offers not only exceptional value for money at an affordable price, but membership without a contract that ties you in for a long period of time”.
