Wembley Park is set to expand its retail offering after award-winning developer Quintain signed leases on five new spaces – including one that will soon be home to a 30,000sq ft ‘super gym.’
EQL Fitness, as the company will soon be known following a rebrand from its original name ‘3M Fitness’, already operates CrossFit Putney and is now set to significantly enhance its gym offering with the launch of a 29,187sq ft facility in Wembley Park.
The new “super gym”, which will open onto Union Park – the neighbourhood’s first major new green space in decades – will feature a fully-fledged CrossFit studio on the lower-ground floor, which will also serve as an events space to be utilised by fitness brands and partners. The upper-ground floor will be home to a diverse range of gym equipment and spaces, including treadmills, free weights, a spin studio, a yoga room, a space with sauna and steam room and changing facilities.
EQL Fitness will be joined by a new Pilates concept El Estudio, which is set to take 1,970sq ft, as well a bike repair shop Fix Your Cycle will take 1,389sq ft. In addition, Quintain Living – which manages what will be the single-largest Build-to-Rent site in the UK – has signed a lease with Out of Office Coffee in its flagship Canada Gardens development.
Matt Slade, Retail Director at Quintain, said: “Wembley Park has kicked off the New Year with an even more vibrant offering for the thousands of people who live and work here, as well as the 1.2 million who live within 20 minutes of the destination and the millions more who visit every year.”
