About Hope Valley Health Club
Opening on the 8th Aug 2008 same day the Olympics' began, very promising. The club has gone from strength to strength based on offering consistently high service with dynamic and creative fitness solutions. This together with constant updates to the facilities and equipment has lead to our continued success.
Pete says "we have worked hard to create a fitness environment for the Hope Valley that is friendly and motivating. This is the 3rd club I've opened so I was confident in my approach and ideas. However all that aside it's the character, enthusiasm and loyalty of our members that truly make the club work. So thanks."
