Just Fitness by Bannatyne Broadstairs and the  Bannatyne Health Club in Broadstairs, have set a new standard in the UK fitness industry by as the first health clubs to become completely collar-free.

They have introduced the award-winning Gungnir bars, equipped with the innovative SlideLock collars built directly into the bars, enhancing safety, ease of use, and providing an efficient locking mechanism. These gyms are some of the first Gungnir-certified collar-free gyms in the world.

This landmark transition was facilitated by Indigo Fitness, who collaborated closely with the Bannatyne Group, culminating in the establishment of the newly-opened Just Fitness by Bannatyne in Broadstairs, boasting a sprawling 20,000 sq.ft gym floor.

This initiative reflects our unwavering commitment to provide our members in Broadstairs with the best and most progressive fitness solutions."
