Board Change

 

Leading low-cost gym operator, The Gym Group plc announces that, after seven
years' service, Emma Woods, Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, will be
stepping down as a director of The Gym Group on 31(st) December 2023.

In line with the Board's succession planning, Elaine O'Donnell will replace
Emma as Senior Independent Non-Executive Director and Wais Shaifta will take
on the role of Chair of the Remuneration Committee.

John Treharne, Chair of The Gym Group, said: "I'd like to thank Emma for her
years of service on our Board. With a keen interest in health and fitness, she
has made a significant contribution to many areas of our business, notably in
brand and marketing, and has been particularly instrumental in the recent CEO
recruitment process. Now that is complete, we wish her all the very best as
she moves on to focus on her other commitments."

Emma Woods, Senior Independent Director of The Gym Group, said: "It has been
a privilege to work with the amazing team at The Gym Group over the
past seven years, helping them in their mission to improve the health of the
nation. Their continued expansion across the UK, providing a much- needed low
cost offering in the fitness sector, is testament to the commitment and focus
of a team I have been proud to be a part of.  I feel very confident that
Will and John now head up a leadership team that is ready to write the next
chapter of this exciting business."
