Perhaps that’s why they are so focused on proper health and fitness benefits, and less on the luxuries that a small percentage of traditional health club members want.

John has a long and successful history in the gym business. He opened his first health club chain, Dragons Health Clubs, in 1991, building the business to a total of 22 clubs. He floated the company in 1997, and in 2000 he and his investors sold it on. He then spent time lending his expertise to premium gym chain Esporta, before concentrating on the launch of The Gym Group.

The signage in the photograph consist of a powder internally illuminated aluminium fascia, using clear push through acrylic with translucent vinyl, the illumination is by energy saving LED’s. The main sign is a Flex Face light box illuminated sign system which is ideal for larger outdoor illuminated sign applications such as illuminated outdoor advertising, company outdoor signs and shop front signs. Flex Face light boxes are very robust and durable with a 200mm deep aluminium profile as standard with internal supporting struts fixed to the back panel to create the rear tray of the light box. The internal illumination of the light box in this instance is produced using energy saving LEDs.

The Flex Face light box is so called because it features a flexible PVC banner fascia which is stretched across the front of light box to create what is essentially like a skin on a drum. The PVC banner ‘skin’ is specifically manufactured for backlit applications to allow for the light to pass through and illuminate the banner graphic from edge to edge.

As well as standard square and rectangular, Flex Face illuminated signs can be formed in many shapes and sizes including circular and irregular shapes and even large illuminated letters to create completely bespoke large format illuminated signs.
