PureGym is set to open a new site in London Colney later this month.

The 12,000 sqft gym will open at Colney Fields Shopping Park on March 28, and be decked out with hundreds of pieces of state-of-the-art equipment.

Nine jobs will also be created, and there are hopes the site will "boost the local economy by increasing footfall to the retail park".
