Fitness First is piloting a partnership with Get A Drip to offer members IV treatments at one of its London clubs.

The service launches at Fitness First Tottenham Court Road today (16 September) and will be available from 11.00am to 8.00pm every Monday.

Get A Drip offers a wide selection of IV treatments, including the Calm Drip, Energy Drip and Fitness Drip.

While IV drips have been available at social wellness clubs and longevity clinics, such as Remedy Place, for some years now, Fitness First is the first mainstream UK health club operator to offer this service.

The innovation comes hot on the heels of the company's announcement of a partnership with Health Hero to offer members access to a full suite of medical services.

The uplift in membership options at Fitness First are being driven by new CEO, Justin Musgrove, who's taking the company on a fast track journey back to growth.

IV drips are gaining popularity among the health savvy, as they bypass the digestive system allowing for rapid, uninterrupted absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. A trained medical professional inserts a small catheter into a vein and it takes between 30 to 60 minutes to be administered.

Launched in 2017, Get A Drip is one of the biggest vitamin drip provider in the UK. Run as a franchise, there are a number of clinics in London, Dublin and mobile providers around the UK. A range of wellness services are also offered by the company, including DNA testing to help individuals find out what nutrients their bodies need.

The clinics also provide a range of longevity services including cryotherapy, ozone therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, ozone therapy, compression therapy, red light therapy, an infrared sauna and a pelvic floor chair, as well as blood tests which can recognise deficiencies.

Fitness First CEO, Justin Musgrove is one of the speakers at the upcoming HCM Summit, which takes place in London on 24 October. You can book your ticket here.
