Martin’s Properties has announced the completion of a new lease to boutique fitness brand One Rebel (1Rebel) at 107 Kings Road in Chelsea, London.
The class-based leisure business has taken the 7,574sq ft of leisure space on a 15-year lease to provide ‘the ultimate fitness destination’ with its collection of carefully curated classes.
Known for its immersive group fitness concepts, 1Rebel currently operates 11 clubs across London, with a further two in Australia and one in the UAE. The new club on the King’s Road will offer Reshape (treadmill and weights), Reformer (Pilates), and Reset (sauna and cold plunge). Customers will be able to attend via 1Rebel’s extensive range of memberships and packages.
Developed by Martin’s Properties in 2018, 107 Kings Road is a former nightclub premises, more recently converted into a state-of-the-art gym, arranged over ground and first floors, with a cafe, roof terrace and changing facilities. The unit forms part of a larger holding for Martin’s Properties including 105 to 115 Kings Road and 1 to 17 Radnor Walk.
Brook Stotesbury, head of commercial asset management and investment at Martin’s Properties, said: “With the previous tenant operating the gym facility having to make the difficult decision to close last month, we are delighted secure another fitness offering and welcome One Rebel to Kings Road to offer the flexible and fun fitness benefits of this established business to locals and those travelling from further afield.
“This letting demonstrates how far the asset has come since our acquisition in 2018, with our in-house asset management team adding significant value with its conversion, repurposing the building’s use with a new lease of life that has attracted such a high end and fast-growing brand such as One Rebel.”
James Balfour, CEO at 1Rebel: “Opening on the King’s Road marks a bold new chapter for 1Rebel. This is one of London’s most iconic destinations, and we’re proud to be bringing our experience-led workouts to the heart of Chelsea. As we continue to grow our footprint across the capital, this launch reflects our ambition to redefine fitness by combining world-class training with cutting-edge design and brand-new recovery spaces.”
