What Everlast Gyms does

Everlast Gyms is a multi-location hybrid fitness operator running 60+ owned-and-operated gym facilities across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, operating under SportsDirect Fitness.com Ltd. as part of the SportsDirect/Frasers Group portfolio. The company is built on the heritage of the 1910-founded Everlast boxing brand and offers tiered monthly subscriptions (VIP Core, VIP Champion, VIP Champion Plus) starting from approximately £25/month and €40/month in Dublin, plus student and corporate variants, with 12-month minimum contracts on standard plans. Its product surface spans standard gym access, branded group training concepts (HAYMAKER boxing, HUSTLE powered by Nike Strength, Everlast Lifting Club, CRANKED, BREATHE, BACKBONE, APEX Arena), HYROX-certified Performance Centers with race-day simulation equipment, Reformer Pilates at 8 sites, swimming at 21 sites, personal training, MOVE onboarding packages, and VIP Recovery Suites with ice baths and saunas.

The underlying platform integrates third-party fitness technology — PerfectGym for membership management and class booking, MYZONE for heart rate tracking, InBody for body composition scanning, and the Centr app for HYROX programming — alongside nutrition partnerships with Myprotein Kitchen, Good Prep, and Gold Standard Nutrition. Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer through the website and client portal with promotional acquisition levers (£10/month until September, €10 first month in Dublin, 50% off first day pass, 20% student discount, 10% corporate discount), supplemented by social video content and partner co-marketing with Nike Strength, Centr, Myprotein, and HYROX. The premium 'Everlast Gyms+' format, anchored on the UK's only official HYROX Performance Center designation, represents the company's principal differentiation and ARPU-expansion vehicle, with Dublin (2024) marking its first market beyond the UK and ongoing renovations (e.g., Gillingham) extending the format across the estate.
