PureGym<\/a> previously told the Courier that an opening date of June 18 had been identified but, earlier this week, said that the opening had been delayed \u201cdue to unforeseen circumstances\u201d.\n<\/p>\n\n At that time, the plan was to open between 1pm and 8pm for the local community to preview the gym.\n<\/p>\n
\n However, the opening has now gone back on its previous statement and confirmed that the gym will open at 1pm today, as originally planned.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n A PureGym spokesperson said:\u00a0\u201cWe are delighted that PureGym Haddington will open its doors today (Thursday) at 1pm, providing members with 24\/7 access to a state-of-the-art fitness facility.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe brand-new gym will be a fantastic addition to Haddington, making gym access more affordable and accessible, as well as driving footfall to the local area.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cAs more people recognise the physical and mental health benefits of regular exercise, we are excited to be opening more gyms and remain committed to supporting local communities to get active, feel stronger and enhance overall wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The national chain is opening its first branch in East Lothian in the building previously home to Aldi…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":716440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[337,97],"class_list":["post-716439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-fitness","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/716440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
