Strata Partners, one of the leading fitness operators in Russia, opened its latest OrangeFitness health club on 27 August.

The new facility is located in Naberezhnye Chelny in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia - a new region for Strata Partners.

The club measures more than 3,000sq m and offers a gym equipped by gym80, Hoist and Precor.

There are also numerous group exercise studios and extensive children's programming.

Other facilities include a martial arts area, swimming pool, tennis courts, full-size football pitch, basketball and volleyball courts, and sauna/steam room and massage.

"We are very proud to re-start the active development of the Strata Partners estate in this new region," sad Anastasia Yusina, Strata Partners' president.

"Tatarstan and Naberezhnye Chelny, as an industrial and oil region, have a lot of potential for fitness club operators.

"We hope to open more clubs in Tatarstan in 2012 under the CityFitness brand."

Strata Partners now has 33 clubs: 14 premium OrangeFitness sites and 19 mass
