A new premium health and fitness centre owned by a professional boxer will be transforming a former commercial gym in Chatham<\/a> this year. Club Eight 3 is taking over the TruGym site at The Quays in Chatham Maritime following its sudden closure on Saturday, July 4, having operated in the Medway<\/a> town for more than a decade.<\/p>\n In a message shared to members, the TruGym team said: \u201cJ5 Sports Ltd, the company that owns and operates TruGym Chatham, has been acquired by new owners. The new owners will be carrying out a full refurbishment before reopening the club under a new name, Club Eight 3.\u201d<\/p>\n Members were advised that existing memberships would not continue in their current form and that they would not be charged under their current plan going forward, with membership of the new club to be organised by the Club Eight 3 owners. Chatham local Moses Itauma is teaming up with his brother and fellow professional boxer Karol Itauma, as well as Ipswich Town footballer Anis Mehmeti and amateur boxer Frank Wood, to deliver the new fitness centre.<\/p>\n The team behind Club Eight 3 said: \u201cCreated in the heart of Chatham, the club has been designed as more than a gym. It is a refined members-only environment where elite performance, recovery and discreet hospitality come together to support the way our members train, connect and live.<\/p>\n Professional boxer Moses Itauma is opening the club with his brother and fellow boxer Karol Itauma, as well as Ipswich Town footballer Anis Mehmeti and amateur boxer Frank Wood.(Image: Getty Images\/Alex Livesey)<\/p>\n \u201cClub Eight 3 redefines the modern fitness experience by uniting performance training, recovery, convenience, and lifestyle medicine under one roof.
