Founded in Australia a decade ago, Jetts offers Thailand members free reciprocal access to its 250 clubs there and in New Zealand, Britain and the Netherlands.
The move is backed by the Fitness and Lifestyle Group (FLG), Australia’s largest gym-and-fitness company, which has more than 450 clubs, 725,000 members and 6,000 team members.
FLG chief executive Greg Oliver said he was confident the “workout on your terms” mantra that Jetts uses will spark a “fitness revolution” in Thailand, with a further eight clubs to be opened later this year and eventually 35 more upcountry.
“As with the global health and fitness sector, Thailand is experiencing a surge and Jetts will tick all the boxes for health-conscious consumers who demand a gym that is simple, affordable and fits into their busy lifestyles,” Oliver said.
Jetts Asia managing director Michael David Lamb is confident the simple convenience and member-centric approach that has made Jetts an international success would be warmly welcomed in Thailand.
“Jetts will ultimately inspire more people to live a healthier life by making it easy and affordable for them to get moving, just as it has in Australia for more than a decade,” he said.
“By making the clubs accessible 24/7 by use of a swipe card, everyone from shift workers to busy parents will be able to work out at a time that fits into their busy schedules.”
