Independent gym group Fitness Worx, which began with a single club in Kenilworth in 2012, is celebrating a major milestone this year as it prepares to open its 10th gym in September 2026.
The new Solihull club represents the company’s biggest investment to date and continues a journey that started 14 years ago with the ambition of creating high quality, affordable fitness facilities that put members first.
Since opening its first gym in Kenilworth, Fitness Worx has grown steadily across the Midlands, building a reputation for welcoming communities, state of the art equipment and outstanding value.
The new Solihull gym, located at Drayton House, will offer more than 12,000 square feet of premium fitness space and will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Members will have access to a wide range of industry leading strength and cardio equipment, dedicated functional training and HYROX areas, powerlifting facilities, a specialist glute zone, fitness classes included in the membership, personal training services, saunas and modern changing facilities.
As with every Fitness Worx location, members will be able to train at any gym across the group’s network at no extra cost. The new Solihull club is just a 15 to 20 minute drive from the original Kenilworth gym, giving existing members even greater flexibility to fit training around work, home and everyday life.
The opening marks another significant chapter for the independently owned business, which has remained committed to investing in local communities while continually improving the experience for its members.
Jack Gibson, founder and owner of Fitness Worx, said:
“Opening our 10th gym is an incredibly proud moment for everyone involved in Fitness Worx. What started in Kenilworth back in 2012 has grown far beyond what we could have imagined, but our values haven’t changed. We’ve always wanted to create gyms where people feel welcome, supported and inspired to achieve their goals.
“Solihull is our biggest and most exciting project yet. It’s just 15 to 20 minutes from our original Kenilworth gym, making it a fantastic addition for our existing members, who can now enjoy another premium facility as part of their membership.
“Having every Fitness Worx membership include access to all of our gyms has always been an important part of what we offer, and opening another 24/7 location gives members even more flexibility to train whenever and wherever suits them.
“Reaching 10 gyms is a milestone we’re extremely proud of, but we’re still as ambitious as ever. We’d like to thank every member who has supported us since 2012. Their loyalty has helped us grow into the business we are today, and we’re excited to welcome the Solihull community into the Fitness Worx family this September.”
Ahead of its September opening, the new Solihull club has already generated significant interest, with hundreds of people registering to become founding members before the doors have even opened.
As Fitness Worx celebrates its new location, the business remains focused on the same principles it was founded on in Kenilworth, creating outstanding gyms, supporting healthier communities and delivering exceptional value through premium facilities, friendly service and the flexibility for members to train wherever life takes them.
The new Fitness Worx Solihull opens in September 2026, marking not just the opening of another gym, but the next milestone in a success story that began in Kenilworth and continues to grow across the Midlands.
