LCP welcomes Pure Gym to The Willows, Wickford.

LCP UK, a part of M Core is welcoming the UK’s largest gym operator, PureGym, to The Willows, Wickford.

To further diversify the primary shopping centre in the heart of Wickford High Street, the new gym will occupy a 7,714 square-foot unit, taking a 15-year lease. PureGym Wickford will provide members with state-of-the-art equipment and an extensive timetable of exercise classes, all of which are included in a standard membership.

The move aims to further enhance the leisure offerings at The Willows, providing the local community with affordable fitness and an offering of a healthier lifestyle. With 24-hour accessibility and two hours free parking for members, PureGym will provide spacious work-out areas for a low monthly cost.

This new partnership further strengthens LCP's commitment to utilising their assets to bring in more recognisable brands to its portfolio. The Willows, Wickford is just a single example of the extensive list of shopping centres that have been enhanced through strong tenant partnerships by LCP UK. 

Claudia Gasparro, Senior Asset Manager at LCP UK, part of M Core, said: “The Willows shopping centre is at the heart of the community in Wickford, and we are delighted to be welcoming Pure Gym into the mix. The brand will be a fantastic addition to the already vibrant and thriving centre.”
