Pre-close trading update

Leading low cost gym operator, The Gym Group, is pleased to announce that good
trading momentum has continued through the first half of 2025, with
like-for-like revenue growing 3% year on year 1 .

Revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2025 increased by 8% to £121.0m (H1
24: £112.1m). Average members grew 4% to 953,000 (H1 24: 914,000), and
average revenue per member per month ('ARPMM') was up 4% to £21.16 (H1 24:
£20.44). We closed the period with 949,000 members compared with 891,000 at
31 December 2024 and 905,000 at 30 June 2024.

We opened 3 new gyms in the first half of the year and, as at 9 July, we are
on site at a further 4 sites. We remain on track to open 14-16 gyms in 2025.
One city centre gym was closed in the period.

Net debt as at 30 June 2025 was £51.2m, compared with £61.3m at 31 December
2024 and £54.6m at 30 June 2024. We expect net debt at year end to trend back
towards the levels at December 2024 given the new gym opening and
refurbishment programmes are second-half weighted.

In June, the Group agreed a one-year extension to the existing bank
facilities, as well as an increase in the available RCF facility of £12m. As
a result, the Group now has in place a combined £102m facility, consisting of
£45m of Term Loan and £57m of RCF, which is due to mature in June 2028.

The Group's interim results for the six months to 30 June 2025 will be
announced on 10 September 2025.

Will Orr, CEO of The Gym Group, commented:

"We have delivered continuing momentum in the first half of the year, with
further good growth in membership and yield. We are seeing excellent
performance in our new sites, supported by a more tailored marketing approach
and the evolution of our site proposition. We remain confident in the full
year outlook and look forward to updating the market more fully in September."
