Fitness Chain SPACE Opens 40th Branch in Ness Ziona

The SPACE fitness group is expanding its operations with the opening of a new club in Ness Ziona, an investment estimated at approximately 7 million shekels. This new branch will be the chain's 40th location and will be situated on the rooftop of the "Kaniontar" mall, owned by Melisron Group. The facility will span about 1,200 square meters and feature advanced gym equipment from Germany's Gym80, alongside an aerobics area with Star Trac machines. High-quality changing rooms with private showers are also included to enhance the member experience. The mall location was chosen to integrate fitness activities with a major commercial hub, increasing exposure to a broad audience.

Haim Frankel, CEO and owner of SPACE Group, stated that the Ness Ziona opening is part of a growth strategy focused on prime locations with high foot traffic and accessibility. He emphasized that the mall's central position provides a strong business anchor for both the chain and the property. Frankel added that the company is continuously seeking new real estate opportunities in high-demand areas to responsibly expand its presence in the Israeli fitness market, viewing the 40th branch as a significant milestone but just one step in their ongoing expansion.

This development follows the recent launch of SPACE's flagship club in Netanya in August, which involved an investment of around 8 million shekels. That club, located in the Kiryat HaSharon neighborhood, covers approximately 2,000 square meters. The company plans to open four more branches by the end of 2026 to further solidify its presence in key cities and commercial centers across Israel.
