Fitness operator Club Company is investing £750,000 in the upgrading of its Nizels club in Kent.

The revamp, which is designed to make the club more family friendly, will include a refurbishment of the Pulse Bar. A new 240sq m children's area will be added to the bar, while the club's crèche will also be enlarged and refurbished to double its current capacity.

Club Company's chief executive, Thierry Delsol, said the work is part of the company's strategy to invest in its clubs despite the challenging economic environment.

"Improving our facilities and providing a welcoming and professional service are important components of our member retention programme and we will continue to invest in these areas to enhance the members' experience."
