+++ EGYM Wellpass acquires UK-based corporate fitness provider Hussle +++

I am thrilled to announce that EGYM has acquired Hussle Official, a leading corporate fitness player in the UK. This acquisition marks a significant milestone in our journey towards expanding our leading position in the booming European market with EGYM Wellpass, our corporate fitness network. Our vision with Wellpass is to provide employees across Europe with quality, inexpensive fitness offerings to keep them healthy in a seamless network of partner facilities. 

Our initial conversations proved that Hussle founders Jamie Ward and Neil Harmsworth wanted to genuinely enhance an industry they were passionate about when they founded Hussle 13 years ago. Their track record in establishing an outstanding employee wellness company with massive growth in 2023 is inspiring. The NHS's prioritization of prevention over repair provides significant opportunities, and we are excited to begin this journey together. 

With the integration of Hussle, we now offer unlimited access to a network of up to 1,500+ gyms, pools, and spas via one employee membership, covering 96% of UK postcode regions in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The addition of Hussle effectively increases the European-wide network of Wellpass to a total of 14,500 exercise facilities across Germany, Austria, the UK, France, and Belgium.

Welcome to the team, Jamie and Neil!
