German health club group Linzenich opens 13th club in Cologne
BY Tom Walker



The facility - which operates under the banner of SPORTSCLUB4 - offers a gym supplied by Pulse, Life Fitness, Matrix, Freemotion and Star Trac.

The bright, spacious area is spread over two floors with a large cardio zone and group exercise studio. There is also a Life Fitness SYNRGY360 functional workout zone.

Dietary advice is also available in line with the group?s overall wellness concept, which focuses on the four key pillars of Fit, Slim, Strong and Healthy.

The club offers a fitness suite only, without any additional services such as a coffee bar or beauty treatments.

A spokesperson said: "The club offers well-educated instructors and a friendly atmosphere, but the main focus is on your workout rather than on the social components."

Linzenich Fitnessgruppe, which was originally founded as a family business in 1982, now operates 13 clubs in Germany under a range of different brands: the high-end flagship brand FAMILY fitness club; low-cost TOPfit; SPORTSCLUB4; class-based concept KURSboutique; and weight loss offering besser schlank (which translates as 'better slim').
