and live on Freeview channel 276
The new branch of Pure Gym will launch on top of Wilko at the Dukes Walk shopping centre on Monday, March 9.
Its new unit was previously occupied by 24/7 Fitness, which closed suddenly in January leaving ‘hundreds’ of members asking for refunds.

Pure Gym’s new branch adds to its portfolio of gyms in Commercial Road and North Harbour, Portsmouth, and Broadcut Retail Park in Fareham.
A message on the company’s website says: ‘The gym will feature an immersive fitness studio and functional training zone with Olympic lifting platform, a free weights area, cardio and fixed resistance machines – plus spacious changing rooms with secure lockers and vanity stations.
‘All fitness classes are included with your membership and there’s one for every ability and fitness goal.

‘Parking is available for members for up to two hours.
‘The car park is behind Curzon Road.’
Following the closure of its Waterlooville branch, 24/7 Fitness is now rated ‘poor' on Trustpilot with two out of five stars.
The firm previously said refunds would be ‘calculated in accordance with 6.8 of our terms and conditions on our website'.
Pure Gym’s new branch will sit across the car park from Waitrose.
Shoppers were left stunned yesterday when the retail giant announced the supermarket’s closure after more than a decade.
