With over 18 years of experience in the private health club sector and fitness industry with Virgin Active and LA Fitness, sales and marketing director, Neil Randall, has been promoted to chief operating officer.

Since joining Anytime Fitness’ UK senior management team in April 2018, Randall has overseen several milestones, including the franchise’s network swelling to over 160 clubs, making it the second largest private gym operator in the UK.

Stuart Broster, Anytime Fitness UK CEO added: “This promotion is a great testament to what Neil has achieved at Anytime Fitness since his appointment last year. As well as overseeing our recent brand evolution, he has played an integral role in supporting both new and existing franchisees, building a great rapport with them and being a trusted point of contact.
