Developer Quintain has signed a deal with EQL Fitness, which currently operates CrossFit Putney, for the new gym which will open onto Union Park, the neighbourhood’s first major new green space in decades.

The facility will feature a fully-fledged CrossFit studio on the lower-ground floor, which will also serve as an events space to be utilised by fitness brands and partners. The upper-ground floor will be home to a diverse range of gym equipment and spaces, including treadmills, free weights, a spin studio, a yoga room, a space with sauna and steam room and changing facilities.  

“Wembley Park is an iconic sporting destination, so, as a fitness business it felt like an unmissable opportunity to grow our business among other brilliant retail, leisure and lifestyle brands. With Wembley Park’s thousands of residents and workers, we can’t wait to grow our fitness community and become part of the fabric of one of London’s most exciting neighbourhoods,” said Michael Thoburn, co-founder of EQL Fitness.
