Bannatyne Fitness Limited, the national chain of health and fitness clubs, has secured a refinancing package of £35m through the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Bannatyne Fitness Limited is part of the Bannatyne Group – the UK’s largest health club operator with 59 sites and 170,000 members across the UK, with a commitment to providing its members with the best possible facilities.
Mr Duncan Bannatyne, Chairman of the Bannatyne Group, said: “We’re delighted with the support that RBS has provided to enable us to continue to provide customers with fantastic products and services which enhance their lifestyle. The RBS teams’ understanding of our strategy and speed of response was excellent.”
