Slough Gym Market - Overview
Slough is a Berkshire town of around 165,000 people, with one of the densest concentrations of corporate HQs in the UK on the Slough Trading Estate (Mars, O2, Telefonica, Reckitt, Johnson Controls and others). The Crossrail/Elizabeth line has further increased demand for commuter-friendly gyms with early-morning and evening capacity. The fitness mix runs from saturated budget chains around the town centre and the Queensmere shopping area, through corporate-membership-friendly mid-premium clubs near the Trading Estate, to suburban small-box 24/7 clubs in Langley, Cippenham and Chalvey.
