Pure Gym is to open its newest gym in Knaresborough tomorrow.
The gym, which will employ nine staff, will be open from 6am to 10pm Monday to Friday and from 8am to 8pm on Saturday and Sunday.
It will provide about 40 classes a week free to members.
It has 220 pieces of equipment, a functional zone, a free weights area, cardio equipment and a fitness studio. Certified PTs will be available to help.
Based on the site of the former Lidl supermarket on York Road, the gym will welcome its first customers at midday tomorrow.

A Pure Gym spokesperson said:
Tomorrow's opening means Knaresborough and Harrogate will both have Pure Gyms — but not Ripon. The Stray Ferret asked the company if it had any plans t open in the city.
The spokesperson said:
Pure Gym was launched in 2009 and now has 1.2 million members and 340 UK clubs.
It is majority owned by American private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners.
