Goldex partners with Matrix Fitness for ladies-only gym

Goldex Fitness has launched a ladies-only gym in Sidcup, south-east London. The club is the second in the operator’s portfolio, following the opening of a unisex gym in Gillingham, Kent, which launched two years ago.

For the Sidcup opening, Goldex Fitness aimed to innovate beyond its traditional model and decided to cater to the rising demand for women-only fitness spaces.

Gavin Brar, New Business Director, said: “There weren’t many gyms in the area, so we saw a gap in the market. We wanted to create a specialised space for women, which would be a unique offering for the community.”

The gym has seen an immediate interest from women of all ages and abilities, with more than 1,000 memberships secured since the opening.

“The response has exceeded our expectations, validating the demand for a ladies-only facility,” Brar added. “We focus on breaking outdated stereotypes by providing comprehensive equipment designed to empower women in their fitness journeys without judgement.”

Designed as a space where women can focus on fitness without the fear of scrutiny, Goldex Sidcup aims to be a positive and supportive training area, featuring high-quality equipment and a welcoming design.
