We’re delighted to announce that AS Retail acted on behalf of STRONG Pilates on their new 3,000 sq ft site at Charter Quay, Kingston upon Thames which has now signed and fit out commenced.

STRONG are one of the most exciting boutique health and fitness brands globally right now with a worldwide roll out underway. They are more than just Pilates, it’s a unique instructor-based workout experience that fuses Pilates, Cardio and Strength all into one full body burn, all set within a very cool studio environment.

More information on the brand can be found on their UK website www.strongpilates.co.uk and their entry into Kingston further strengthens the leisure and wellness offering in the town. This marks STRONG Pilates’ 14^th UK studio with other locations including Wandsworth, Fulham, Ealing, Oxford, Brighton, Nottingham and Birmingham.

Ollie Haxton who acted on behalf of STRONG in the transaction said “This was a great one to get over the line. I’m delighted to have acted on behalf of STRONG as part of their UK rollout, and I look forward to seeing the new studio become part of Kingston’s thriving fitness and wellness community.”

We are actively looking for opportunities across the UK to support STRONG’s growing pipeline. If you have anything that you think may be suitable, please send the details through to Ollie Haxton at AS Retail.

Thanks to Jacob Matthew at Jackson Criss who acted on behalf of the landlord.

The newest Jetts Fitness club has officially opened on Mile End Road, Stepney Green in East London – the first club to open in East London and 25^th UK wide.

The highly impressive 8,000 sq ft facility is set over ground floor, mezzanine and lower ground floor, showcasing the very best of the Jetts offer, featuring world-class equipment, expansive functional and strength training zones, and the popular J-Series fitness classes.

Andrew Shepherd, director at AS Retail who conducted the negotiations on behalf of Jetts  commented “As with all Jetts clubs, they are designed bespoke to the location and to complement the specific features of the building whilst remaining on brand; there is no ‘cookie cutter’ approach and the design team have excelled themselves in creating the perfect environment to fit this space. We wish the club owners Kevin & David every success with this their third club and the brand’s first opening in East London.”

With the West Ealing club in build out, Stratford and Nailsea clubs exchanged plus works due to start on another four more clubs in the next month, including the first Jetts in Wales, plus more in the pipeline it’s going to be a busy H2 for Jetts but we are still actively seeking further opportunities of between 5,000 and 10,000 sq ft. Priority locations include Greater London, the Home Counties, the South East, the M4 Corridor, the East and West Midlands, and Yorkshire. If you have anything you feel suitable, please contact Andrew Shepherd or Ollie Haxton at AS Retail.
