The third Vivafit location in Spain, the Lepe club is owned by franchisee and businessman Florencio André.

It was already at break-even when it opened last month, with 232 memberships sold during pre-sale.

The previous two sites in Spain - located in Madrid and Badajoz - are owned by Vivafit. Dir offers yoga retreat Barcelona-based health club operator DiR has launched a new yoga retreat off the back of the success of its yoga studio, YogaONE, which opened last year.

Open to members and non-members, the first week-long retreat will take place in the Balearic island of Formentera in May.

Aiming to build on the experience of existing DiR yoga members, as well as introducing newcomers to the benefi ts of the discipline, guests will enjoy four hours of yoga each day, including Vinyassa, Pranayama and meditations sessions.

Provided this initial project is a success, DiR plans to roll out the concept and offer further retreats in the future.
