The retailer has acquired its first site – a former Fitness First gym in Hull – which will open in February, according to a report on TheBusinessDesk.com.
Alun Peacock, previously an associate director of DW Sports Fitness, is heading up the new division.
Peacock told TheBusinessDesk.com that JD has identified other sites, adding: “We also have a couple of other sites under offer in other big cities, but those are deals we are working on at the moment.”
