18 Gym Fitness & Beauty expands in Arad 

18 Gym Fitness & Beauty, the third-largest health & fitness network in Romania and one of the most dynamic players in this sector will open a new location within Agora Arad (the former Galleria Arad) through a transaction brokered by the Cushman & Wakefield Echinox real estate consultancy company.

The new 18 Gym Fitness & Beauty location is the first unit in Arad and the 37th club in the network.

Agora Arad, with an area of 36,000 sqm, is currently undergoing a significant refurbishment and refitting process, as the owners have a strategy to reposition the project as a proximity shopping destination with a varied mix of retailers adapted to the needs of the inhabitants in the area.

Raluca Zlate, Consultant Retail Agency Cushman & Wakefield Echinox, said: “We are pleased to announce the signing of the first 18 Gym Fitness & Beauty location in Arad within the Agora shopping centre. Once the refurbishment works are completed, the project will bring back modern spaces to the market, meeting all the necessary conditions needed to accommodate a wide range of retailers for the benefit of the local community”.

18 Gym Fitness & Beauty is present in 14 cities having a total number of 36 health & fitness clubs throughout the country. The goal for 2024 is to open another 10 locations, thus exceeding the 40-club threshold in Romania.
