PF2 Health Clubs (www.pf2uk.com) and Chessgrove Day Spa (www.chessgrove.co.uk) all form part of the Planetfitness Group. Within Planetfitness we believe in a holistic approach to your health and wellbeing. With such busy lives it is crucial we spend regular time on ourselves and invest in our future. pf2 has evolved to cater for the requirements of the community, ensuring health and fitness is a way of life.

It is a fact that the government many years ago would not advertise that exercise was beneficial to weight loss, but now both the government and the health & fitness industry recognise the enormous value of the ‘GYM’ or ‘HEALTH CLUB’ to assist in our battle with weight control, heart condition and coping with the ’stress’ of today’s world.

PF2 is not just a place for fitness fanatics, for the majority of members, fitness is a means to an end; a way of feeling better about themselves, managing their weight or maintaining a level of fitness for a particular sport. The fact is that people who participate in exercise cope better with the physical and emotional demands of everyday living.
