David Lloyd Leisure owner TDR Capital close to finalising £2bn 'sale'
The private equity backers of David Lloyd Leisure, the premium health and fitness clubs chain, are close to finalising a £2bn deal that will see it continue as the company's long-term owner. Sky News has learnt that TDR Capital, which has owned David Lloyd Leisure since 2013, is putting the finishing touches to a so-called continuation vehicle which effectively transfers ownership of the group from one of its funds to another entity which has many of the same investors. Banking sources said that TDR had lined up a string of major new investors to help fund the £800m of equity commitments required to finance the deal. Post Office latest: The remaining £1.2bn is in the form of David Lloyd Leisure's existing debt rolling over to the continuation vehicle. One banking source said on Tuesday that there had been over £1bn of demand for the equity portion of the transaction. David Lloyd Leisure is one of Europe's biggest health and fitness operators, with 134 clubs and more than 11,500 employees. Under TDR's ownership, it has expanded its site numbers by 50pc, including opening 30 venues in mainland Europe. In its last financial year, it recorded earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of just over £230m - a one-third rise on the previous year. The chain now boasts more than 800,000 members, as of last month. People close to the company said its investment in spas and the introduction of popular wellness concepts such as meditation, yoga and tai chi have been partly responsible for its improved performance. They added that it had a strong pipeline of new clubs both in the UK and Europe, with 30 new openings planned in the coming years, and proposals to open more than 200 Padel courts across its sites. The decision to transfer ownership of David Lloyd Leisure to a continuation vehicle would allow new and existing investors the opportunity to benefit from future growth, according to insiders. It also offers limited partners, or investors, in the TDR fund in which David Lloyd Leisure is currently held the opportunity to realise their investment. TDR, which also owns Asda and Stonegate Group, Britain's biggest pub company, has explored a sale of David Lloyd Leisure in the past, including recently, but did not attract offers of a sufficient value, according to bankers. Jefferies is advising TDR on the continuation vehicle - which has become an increasingly common way for private equity firms to resolve issues relating to the ownership of long-held assets - and its negotiations with investors. A TDR spokesman declined to comment.

Saudi Arabia Health and Fitness Club Market Forecast Report to 2030: Digital Fitness Revolution - Saudi Health Clubs Embrace Hybrid Models to Boost Engagement and Retention
The Saudi Arabia Health and Fitness Club Market is growing rapidly due to increased health consciousness, digital innovations, and Vision 2030 reforms. The rise in women-only gyms, hybrid models, and government support offers significant opportunities. However, high operation costs and urban saturation present challenges. Saudi Arabian Health and Fitness Club Market Dublin, July 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Saudi Arabia Health and Fitness Club Market, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F" has been added to Saudi Arabia Health and Fitness Club Market was valued at USD 1.14 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.79 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 7.87%. This market is expanding rapidly, supported by rising health consciousness, technological innovation, and supportive government reforms. Fitness facilities across the Kingdom are evolving with the integration of smart equipment, digital platforms, and personalized wellness solutions. As of 2022, 48.2% of Saudi residents engaged in regular physical activity, signaling growing public interest in fitness. Women's participation in fitness is also increasing, highlighted by initiatives like the Public Investment Fund's launch of a women-focused fitness company in 2023. The fitness ecosystem is diversifying with more women-only gyms, tech-driven solutions, and hybrid offerings, making health and wellness more accessible and inclusive. Key Market Drivers: Government Initiatives and Vision 2030 Reforms A central force behind the growth of Saudi Arabia's fitness industry is the government's Vision 2030, which aims to significantly increase physical activity among citizens - from 13% in 2015 to 40% by 2030. This commitment is supported by a variety of programs promoting healthy lifestyles, including the development of public sports facilities, fitness campaigns, and private sector partnerships. Public-private collaborations have also gained momentum; for instance, Leejam Sports partnered with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing in 2023 to improve quality of life. Additionally, employers are embracing corporate wellness programs, boosting gym memberships and promoting workplace health. These strategic efforts are laying a strong foundation for sustained market expansion and elevating the role of fitness in national health priorities. Key Market Challenges: High Operational Costs and Market Saturation in Urban Areas One major challenge in Saudi Arabia's fitness club market is the high cost of operations in metropolitan areas like Riyadh and Jeddah. Establishing and maintaining state-of-the-art facilities requires substantial investment in equipment, real estate, staff, and digital infrastructure. Rising utility and rental costs place added pressure on operators to balance service quality with affordability. Urban markets are also facing saturation due to the rapid increase in gyms, studios, and international chains. This intense competition can lead to pricing pressures, customer churn, and over-reliance on promotions to attract members. Smaller and local operators often struggle to compete with larger brands that can offer comprehensive services and loyalty incentives. To survive in this environment, fitness clubs must differentiate through specialized offerings, technology integration, and superior member experiences. Key Market Trends: Growth of Digital Fitness and Hybrid Membership Models A key trend reshaping the Saudi fitness landscape is the adoption of digital fitness solutions and hybrid membership models. Consumers increasingly expect flexibility, prompting gyms to combine in-person experiences with digital platforms offering virtual classes, personalized coaching, and mobile app access. Fitness brands such as Fitness Time are launching proprietary apps and digital services to meet these demands. Wearable technology, including fitness trackers and smartwatches, is also gaining popularity, helping users track progress and engage with their wellness goals. This digitally enabled approach is especially appealing to younger, tech-savvy users and helps fitness clubs drive engagement, improve retention, and create customized wellness journeys. As this trend continues, fitness operators embracing digital transformation are likely to gain a competitive edge.
