The Gym Group plc announced that Richard Darwin and the Board have agreed that Richard will step down as Chief Executive following more than seven years leading the Company as CEO and as CFO. During that period the Company has grown significantly from 63 to 229 gyms nationwide. The Board has already initiated the process to find a new Chief Executive.

Richard will step down from the Board in due course and he will remain available to support the Company until July 2023. To assist with the transition, John Treharne, the founder and Chair of TGG, will now act as Executive Chair, working closely with the Executive Directors until the new CEO is appointed.
