Thornbury Active Lifestyle Centre’s £500K state-of-the-art gym was unveiled this week, making the latest milestone in our £1.2 million investment program in this centre in 2024. The cutting-edge refurbishment is more than just a makeover. It’s part of our mission to future-proof the Centre and elevate the services we provide to our community. Featuring advanced Technogym equipment and digital tools, members can now enjoy a more personalised, data-driven fitness experience designed to cater to all fitness levels. And it's not the only transformation this year. ✨ In June, we opened a £140K Wellbeing Studio with partners Innerva tailored for individuals with assisted needs. 🏊🏼 In January 2025, we’ll complete a £600K swimming pool refurbishment focused on sustainability and energy efficiency, thanks to £500K support from South Gloucestershire Council. Mark Crutchley, our CEO, said: “This series of improvements reflects Circadian Trust’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and connected wellbeing. "Thornbury Active Lifestyle Centre has been a cornerstone of the community for over 40 years, and these upgrades ensure it remains a thriving hub for years to come.” We’re proud to have served the Thornbury community since 1980, and look forward to seeing our members continue to benefit from the Active Lifestyle Centre for many years to come.

🏡 Maximizing Fitness and Wellness Spaces in Build-to-Rent Communities 🏗️ As a subject matter expert in fitness and wellness design, I’ve seen firsthand how critical these amenities are in shaping the success and appeal of build-to-rent (BTR) communities. Today’s renters prioritize #health and #wellness, and communities that cater to these values stand out in an increasingly competitive market. When designing fitness and wellness spaces for BTR properties, it’s essential to consider versatility, inclusivity, and innovation. Here are a few key options to keep in mind: 1. Multi-Purpose Fitness Centers Gone are the days of a simple treadmill room. Renters expect multi-functional fitness centers that accommodate various workout styles, from strength training and yoga to HIIT and spin classes. Modular equipment, open spaces, and smart technology like on-demand workout screens can help meet diverse fitness needs. 2. Outdoor Wellness Spaces Outdoor spaces are a growing trend in BTR communities. From walking trails and outdoor yoga decks to turf fields for group workouts, these areas foster connection and encourage renters to stay active while enjoying nature. 3. Recovery and Relaxation Areas Fitness isn’t just about exertion—it’s also about recovery. Wellness-focused amenities like saunas, meditation rooms, or even cold plunge pools add a luxurious touch and appeal to health-conscious renters looking for balance. 4. Family-Friendly Fitness Options BTR communities are home to families too, so including kid-friendly spaces like mini-climbing walls, play-focused fitness zones, or stroller-accessible trails ensures everyone feels included. 5. Smart and Connected Spaces Technology is transforming how we approach fitness. Smart gyms with app integration, virtual personal trainers, and fitness tracking systems create a seamless, modern experience for renters. These innovations also help property managers monitor usage trends to better tailor amenities. 6. Community Wellness Events Spaces can double as venues for wellness events, such as group fitness classes, nutrition workshops, or mental health seminars. This not only creates value but fosters a sense of community.

Fitness clubs have transcended traditional roles and are now pioneering spaces for socialization, relaxation, and professional work. High-end gym franchises like Life Time Inc. and Equinox are redefining what it means to be a fitness center by offering much more than state-of-the-art workout equipment and classes. 💡Gyms are becoming 'third places'—spaces other than home or work where people can relax and socialize. They serve as co-working spaces, networking opportunities, and childcare facilities. 📈 The boundaries of what gyms can offer are expanding. What started as places to exercise are now pivotal lifestyle hubs catering to all aspects of modern life. #WorkLifeBalance #RemoteWork #FutureofWork

David Lloyd Clubs adds desks and spas in response to a rise in demand for different ways of working: David Lloyd Leisure has increased the workspaces in its upmarket clubs in response to a rise in demand for different ways of working. The health and wellness group, which has 133 clubs, has set up dedicated workspaces in Brighton, Port Solent in Portsmouth and Raynes Park in southwest London, with more due to be rolled out. Between 50 and 100 people use them each day, reports The Times. Russell Barnes, chief executive of David Lloyd Leisure, said: “Just because people are not in the office does not mean they are not working. Some of our members fit in an early swim or a late game of padel around working in one of our dedicated spaces. It’s being smart about planning your day and making sure you make time for your health and wellbeing while not dropping productivity at work.” The working and community spaces “enhance the sense of community many members appreciate”. David Lloyd has 103 clubs in the UK and Ireland and 30 across mainland Europe, including David Lloyd Clubs, Harbour Clubs and David Lloyd Meridian Spa and Fitness in Germany. They offer gyms, pools, racquet sports, group exercise classes, children’s activities, crèches and luxury spa facilities. The group was founded in 1982 by the tennis player David Lloyd and has been owned by TDR Capital, the private equity firm, since 2013, when it was valued at £750 million. In 2023 it was reported that TDR was considering selling the chain, but this did not progress. It now has about 750,000 members and is investing £500m in the UK over the next three to four years as it takes its clubs further upmarket.
