The owners of the truGym budget health club in Maidstone, Kent, are looking to open new sites across the UK.

Parm Singh, director of truGym told Health Club Management that as part of the expansion plans, he was looking at attracting potential franchisees from 'different business backgrounds'.

"We are providing a complete solution for anyone looking to operate the truGym brand," he said. They will benefit from economies of scale and our expertise, from equipment purchasing, marketing to access control and security.

"We are also looking to partner with existing gym owners, that want to convert their gyms to the truGym model."

He added that there are plans for the opening of a further two sites in early 2011 - in Medway and South London - as well as plans for a further four sites throughout 2011.
