Firehouse Fitness secure third gym in Sheffield

16 April 2021

Sheffield-based Firehouse Fitness has launched its third gym in the city.

The company, which was founded in 2013, has taken a 12,000 sq ft unit at Archer Road Retail Park in Millhouses, its first site in the south west of Sheffield.

A six figure plus investment has transformed the former PureGym site into six exercise zones.

Managing director Shane Beard said: "The lockdown has been incredibly tough both for our members and the 18-strong team at Firehouse Fitness and we were fully prepared to restart Covid-safe gym operations for those wanting to get back to their fitness routines.

"With our new location on a retail park, now substantially refurbished, we have an important role to play in helping to sustain the park as it adapts to new uses and by bringing a sense of normal life and healthy routine back into people's lives."

Sheffield-based Wake Smith Solicitors acted for Firehouse Fitness on the lease of the building, which sits on the retail park alongside other occupiers including Swim!, Bensons For Beds and Costa Coffee.

Paul Gibbon, director in Wake Smith's commercial property division, who advised on the lease, added: "As we see glimmers of normal life starting to return thanks to the Covid-19 vaccine roll-out, we were pleased to be involved in helping Firehouse Fitness take advantage of a new location and, in turn, access a whole new set of customers."

The new site joins Firehouse Fitness' existing locations at Meadowbrook Park in Halfway and in Hillsborough.
