The Space fitness chain has opened a new club in the Big Fashion Ashdod mall, spanning approximately 2,000 square meters across two floors and representing an investment of around 7 million shekels. The company describes the facility as one of the largest gyms in southern Israel, equipped with machines from the German manufacturer GYM80 and designed according to the chain's new concept.
This opening follows the recent launch of Space's flagship club in Netanya two months prior, which was of similar size and involved an investment of approximately 8 million shekels. The chain plans to open another branch in Ness Ziona later this month. Looking ahead, Space aims to open seven additional clubs during 2027, bringing its total number of branches to 47 by the end of that year.
Space operates in a competitive market that includes major chains such as Holmes Place, which also operates the budget brand Icon, along with Profit and Great Shape, as well as hundreds of independent gyms across Israel.
