Six fitness clubs under the StayFit brand will be opened in retail parks developed by Scallier in Romania. The StayFit chain leased a total of 6,256 sqm. The first club is scheduled to open in a retail park in Moșnița in the coming months. Another branch of the chain will be opened in Vaslui, and further clubs will be built in retail parks, where preparation is in progress. Scallier consistently pursues a long-term strategy for the presence and expansion of retail parks in Romania.
“The partnership with Scallier is an excellent opportunity to further strengthen StayFit Gym’s mission: to provide sports and exercise enthusiasts with quality conditions at affordable prices. This translates into an attractive design as well as the latest equipment. The opening of the next 6 locations in the Scallier retail parks will strengthen our national and regional network, which by the end of 2025 will reach the next development threshold and exceed the milestone of 55-60 fitness centres open in Romania. We understand how important sport is for health, and that is exactly why we are happy that soon we will be able to offer even more people the opportunity to be part of the #StayFit Community, the community of those who make exercise a lifestyle. We are dedicated to inspiring and supporting each person to reach their maximum potential in an environment that promotes health and passion for sport,” says Marius Preodisteanu, Founder and Head of Expansion at Stay Fit Gym.
“Our development strategy, which assumes the development of retail parks in small and medium-sized Romanian cities, has proven successful, as evidenced by both the rental level in our properties and the satisfaction of our tenants. We prepare projects tailored in scale and offer to local conditions, meeting the tastes and needs of local communities, hence the construction of further projects and preparation of further investments, the implementation of which will soon begin on the plots we have already secured,” says Wojciech Jurga, Managing Partner at Scallier responsible for the company’s development in Romania.
“The offer of our retail parks responds to the needs of residents, hence the signing of an agreement with the fastest growing network of fitness clubs in Romania, which will be a perfect complement to the offer of our properties, which are not only places for shopping but also excellent places for spending free time. Our offer is also complemented by well-known grocery discount stores, which are always located near our locations. This gives us a guarantee of creating a traditionally commercial location that will serve tenants and residents of Romanian cities for many years. We are convinced that our cooperation with the recognized Stay Fit network will bring benefits to all parties involved in the operation of real estate, especially our clients, including residents of Romanian cities,” sums up Wojciech Jurga.
All retail parks developed by Scallier in Romania are certified in the international BREEAM certification system.
