Anytime Fitness contributes to revitalisation of Ipswich shopping centre

Ipswich City Council has acknowledged the importance of the recent opening of Queensland’s first flagship Anytime Fitness club in revitalising the Nicholas Street Precinct in the city’s CBD.

Advising that the luxury gym is an exciting new addition for the city shopping precinct, Ipswich Mayor, Teresa Harding stated “as our reinvigorated city centre continues to grow, having a gym open its doors in the Nicholas Street Precinct means Ipswich residents will have easy access to a structured environment for exercise which also promotes positive mental wellbeing.

“Ipswich is a city that loves sport and fitness and as we continue to rapidly grow, it is vital our community has easy access to equipment and resources that can assist them in keeping active and healthy.

“Anytime Fitness is a great fit for our CBD. If you haven’t already, pop in and check out one of their fitness classes including boxing, functional fitness, bootcamps and Pilates.”

Ipswich City Council Economic and Cultural Development Committee Chairperson Councillor Pye Augustine said the opening marked the continued diversification of the offerings available in the Nicholas Street Precinct.

Augustine noted “residents will now have their entertainment, dining and fitness needs met in Nicholas Street Precinct.

“This gym is a great addition to the precinct, perfectly complementing existing tenants. I look forward to seeing the facility buzzing with residents who are on their fitness and wellbeing journey.”

Jordan Cowen, Owner of Anytime Fitness Ipswich CBD, explained that the clubs has a real focus on health, movement and connection, adding “we’ve been absolutely overwhelmed with the support from the local community - it’s been a reminder that Ipswich is not only ready for this kind of facility but is truly deserving of continued investment.

“We’re really looking forward to becoming part of the fabric that makes up this thriving city and can’t wait to see our members making the space their own, whether they’re smashing out a morning session, recovering after work, or starting something new.”
