Jetts 24 Hour Fitness Opens A New Branch In Chanthaburi

BY LINE : THE NATION

WED, SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

Jetts 24 Hour Fitness Opens A New Club In Eastern Thailand, Adheres 5-Year Plan Of Expanding To 100 Clubs Nationwide.

After the outbreak of Covid-19 – Healthy lifestyle trends are boomer than ever, enabling Jetts 24 Hour Fitness to be the fastest growing operator in the Thai fitness market.
 

The company highlights value effectiveness and having branches across the country as its unique selling points. Its clubs are not just a place to exercise but a place for all members to do activities together.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Jetts 24 Hour Fitness launched its first social event, “Jetts Neon Party”, inviting fitness club members and partners to join an exercise competition and enjoy a party. 

This event is aimed to be a spot for new and old members to socialise and make new friends. In this quarter, the company also plans to open 12 new clubs a year and expand to the Eastern of Thailand. 

The fitness is confident that its ambitious 5-year growth plan of expanding to 100 branches nationwide will be achievable.

Dane Cantwell, Country Managing Director of Jetts 24 Hour Fitness (Thailand), said: “Jetts Fitness is a famous gym brand from Australia with members around the world and holds the record for having the most branches in Thailand. It has been operating in Thailand for 6 years starting with the first 2 branches in Nawamin and Town in Town.

We currently have 39 branches in Thailand, 2 of them are Jetts Black which are located at Gaysorn Village and The PARQ Rama IV and 37 of them are Jetts Red focusing on opening 24 hours.”

Cantwell said, “Jetts Black is fully equipped with top-of-the-line performance equipment for solo gym days. It also offers packed schedules with a range of world-class group exercises, specialised and experienced trainers, and healthy cafes spot for gym goers to refuel and re-energise.

Jetts Fitness has approximately 30,000 members, aged 25-30 years old (the working-age population). Our female members like to join exercise classes, and male members like to use exercise equipment to grow and strengthen their muscles. 

Jetts Fitness’ plan is to open 12 new clubs a year, allocating about 3 per cent of revenue for marketing. In the next 5 years, the company aims to have 100 clubs all over Thailand, budgeting 30-45 million baht a club, and each club’s payback period is 3 years. 

“We are strongly confident that the opening of new branches will increase the number of members for each club to no fewer than 1,200 members.”, Cantwell stated.

The initial branch expansion plan will collaborate with partners, such as Central Group. Jetts Fitness is preparing to open a new club in Eastern Thailand at Central Chanthaburi by the end of 2022.

The company believes that the new club will be received a lot of attention like the club at Central Ayutthaya which was opened after Covid-19 restrictions have been relaxed in the earlier of 2022.

“Although gyms in Thailand had temporarily closed for two years because of the pandemic, but after the government eased the restrictions to allow people to live a normal life, the fitness industry has bounced back even stronger. Jetts Fitness has grown by leaps and bounds as more people realise the importance of exercise. They also realise that fitness is a lifestyle, not a trend.” said Cantwell.

Jetts Fitness has incessantly been sharpening its competitive edges so as to differentiate itself. The factors that influence people to choose Jetts Fitness are it offers value for money, the membership fee starts at only 1,600 baht per month, and 39 branches in prime locations in Bangkok that provide easy access from BTS and MRT stations and residential areas in other provinces. Fitness classes can be booked through Jetts Fitness’ application, making members more convenient and motivating.

“Jetts Fitness does not only offer places to exercise, it provides places for members to socialise and make friends which creates a sense of harmony both physically and mentally. Recently, we have organised Jetts Neon Party at our club in The PARQ Rama IV. The event featured games in various fitness classes such as the J-Series Exclusive Class, which is a signature exercise class of Jetts Fitness. 

“It is a fun cardio class for strengthening the upper body, lower body, and the core of the body. It doubly increases metabolism in a moderate stage. In the future, we will continue to organise activities like this in every club. Members can keep up the information at Jetts Fitness clubs from the branch or from our social media.” Cantwell concluded.

Klopp Seeks Liverpool Reaction Against Ajax As Injuries Mount

BY LINE : THE NATION

TUE, SEPTEMBER 13, 2022

Liverpool Manager Juergen Klopp Says His Team Are Looking To Bounce Back After Being Dismantled In Naples Last Week To Open Up Their Champions League Group With A Loss.

In a news conference ahead of the club’s home match against current group leaders Ajax, Klopp said the 4-1 defeat allowed the team to identify shortcomings in what he had dubbed “worst game” for the club since he joined in 2015, adding that analysing the match was akin to watching a “horror film” with at least eight players playing below their level.

Klopp also said he will pay his respects at the scheduled minute’s silence honouring Britain’s recently deceased and longest reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II.

“Yes. But of course, in a week with Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday (games) this would have been a tough one anyway coming back Thursday afternoon, stuff like this. But yes, we would have wanted to play. But for the reasons we all know, it didn’t happen and of course, we respect that. And now we try to use the time for analysis and training which makes absolute sense after the game we played at Napoli.” Said Klopp 

“I watched the game (against Napoli) back plenty of times and it was a real horror show, to be honest. So we showed the boys the situation as well. They knew, but then seeing it again makes it really obvious so that was pretty much, it was the worst game we played since I’m here and we had a few bad games, we all know that, everybody remembers probably Aston Villa and some others maybe, where we were just not up to speed or stuff like this. But there were always glimpses of us, even in these games. In this particular game (against Napoli), nothing.”
 

“We have to show a reaction definitely we know that. That doesn’t guarantee a result against Ajax. I would say Ajax are pretty much in the opposite situation, won all their games so far this season. They have again a rebuild, a really massive rebuild, and doing again a really good job.”

“I don’t know her, but the things you can see now, she was a really warm, nice, beloved lady. That’s all I need to know. Because of my personal experience, not too long ago, it’s obviously not all about what I think, it’s more about what people think who were much closer to her, or felt much closer to her. And I respect their grief a lot. That’s why I will show my respect tomorrow night with a minute of silence – if it goes through.”

The club’s fans have in the past vocally booed the national anthem “God Save the Queen” in high profile games as part of an anti-establishment sentiment among some fans.
