XF Gym will be opening a new 30,000sq ft state-of-the-art fitness and wellbeing facility in the heart of Liverpool’s city centre. Having signed a new lease with RivingtonHark, owners of the St Johns Shopping Centre, this new fitness hub will feature an expansive open-plan workout zone, a women-only space, as well as a wide variety of fitness classes in its group exercise studios, including yoga, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), boxing, dance, and cycling, along with luxury changing facilities.
The St Johns Shopping Centre is a Liverpool icon comprising 540,000 q ft of retail and leisure offerings and the St Johns Beacon. Averaging one million visitors per month, St Johns is home to a variety of popular brands, including JD Sports, Aldi, Liverpool FC Store, Sainsbury’s, Home Bargains, Argos and Matalan, as well as a selection of food and beverage, and independent retailers.
The transformation of this former Wilko store into a new fitness hub reflects how the scheme is changing to meet the needs of customers, visitors and workers. Work will begin immediately to create this new facility which is set to open in the autumn.
Neil Ashcroft, centre director at St Johns Shopping Centre, commented “With an unbeatable location, over one million visitors per month and a broad mix of retailers and leisure offerings, St Johns Shopping Centre is the perfect home for growing, innovative businesses like XF Gym. We share their sense of community, and I am sure Liverpool’s residents, shoppers and workers will love the new gym experience they offer.”
Mark Harvey, executive director at RivingtonHark, commented: “We are delighted to partner with XF Gym to bring a fresh, affordable fitness option to Liverpool, this will be a fantastic addition to St Johns Shopping Centre and further enhance the offer available to our visitors.”
