Health club operator Movers & Shapers has invested £200,000 in the launch of its eighth UK studio in Balham, South London.

The 2,500sq ft (232sq m) site features three different zones and includes space for cardio fitness, core strength and general wellbeing.

The Cardio Zone will offer 30-minute high intensity, instructor-led cardio classes using cross trainers in small groups, while the Core Zone will feature Power Plate classes as well as a range of specific classes from boxing to circuits and cardio.

The Functional Zone has been kitted out with equipment including TRX, kettlebells and ViPR and will offer circuit training for instructor-led small groups.

Ben Margolis, CEO of Movers & Shapers, said: "There will also be therapy rooms offering a range of complementary services from physiotherapy to beauty."

"In addition, we're running our own nutrition programmes with personalised online or face to face options. This is being launched this month across all studios.

The club has set an initial target of 500 members. Margolis added that the company was actively looking for further sites in London.
