JJB Sports is continuing its ambitious rollout plan with three more sites due to open by the end of the year.

The company has opened nine clubs and two Soccer Domes over the last six months in Barnsley, Newcastle, Coatbridge, Merthyr Tydfil, North Shields, Newport and Dundee as well as its first sites in Ireland in Limerick and Dundalk.

All of the clubs are around 25,000sq ft in size and include 20m swimming pools, spas, steamrooms, aerobic studios, gyms with comprehensive free weights areas – which the company says is enjoying a major resurgence in popularity – vibration plate training, and members’ lounges.

The Soccer Domes also offer 12 indoor five-a-side soccer pitches for leagues and tournaments, coaching for children, licensed bars and JJB Superstores.

These latest developments bring the company’s estate to 30 JJB Fitness Clubs and six JJB Soccer Domes and will soon be joined by the new fitness clubs in Bury, Winsford and Gloucester, all of which open in November/December.
