German operator Just Fit opened its 16th club in Köln, Germany on 1 April.

The 1,400sq m, two-storey facility is located in the operator's new
headquarters. The gym is open to the public, with membership starting at €37.90 (£31, US$50) a month and a target of 1,500-2,000 members by the end of 2013.

The showcase gym will offer a range of the latest equipment from 13 different equipment manufacturers.

Meanwhile, all elements of the Just Fit administration - which are currently distributed over diverse clubs - will work together in the new HQ.

"This will simplify the communication between the section departments and will give rise to new synergies for futureorientated thinking and work processes," says CEO Frank Böhme.

The first step will be the expansion of the Just Fit academy, with an expanded portfolio of training and seminars that will also be made available to external
participants, as well as Just Fit staff.
