The coverage which saw Fit4less featured in The Sun, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Mirror, Metro, Cosmoplitan, Mashable, The Derbyshire Telegraph, talkradio and Channel 5’s The Wright Stuff has certainly succeeded in getting people talking.
The story was also the second most read article on the BBC News website on Monday night and was translated in newspapers in Russia, Finland, China and Canada.

In today’s crowded media marketplace, where the demand for attention is a premium you have to be different to stand out. énergie Chairman and CEO Jan Spaticchia commented: “All of our clubs are operated by owners who care about their local communities and are passionate about our mission to democratise fitness and support the industry commitment to get more people, more active more often. We believe that if we are going to reach more people as a sector then we need to stop taking ourselves so seriously and realise that if we want to attract normal people, then we need to be willing to poke fun at ourselves and our irreverent messaging is designed to do exactly that.”
