    Lawmaker hails fitness firm for promoting community well-being

    Member of the House of Representatives, George Adegeye, has commended i-Fitness for its commitment to promoting the health and well-being of Nigerians, following the launch of the company’s largest branch yet in Ago Palace, Lagos.

    Speaking at the opening ceremony of the state-of-the-art fitness facility located in Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency, Adegeye praised the company for taking bold steps to bring fitness closer to the people and creating healthier communities through accessible wellness solutions.

    “This is good. We commend i-Fitness for promoting the well-being of our community and all Nigerians through fitness,” Adegeye said.

    The new branch, situated on a sprawling 3,600sqm property with parking space for 100 cars, is the biggest i-Fitness location in Nigeria to date

     It joins a growing network of 25 branches nationwide and reinforces the company’s reputation as West Africa’s leading and fastest-growing fitness chain.

    Founder and CEO of i-Fitness, Foluso Ogunwale, said the facility is a testament to the company’s mission of making fitness more inclusive and convenient for all Nigerians.

    “We are excited to open our biggest branch in Ago Palace and reinforce our mission to make fitness more accessible for Nigerians. This facility represents our vision of bringing the fitness experience closer to the community,” Ogunwale said.

    He added that the branch, which was built from the ground up in just four months, sets a new standard for fitness infrastructure in Lagos.

    With a subscriber base of over 40,000 members, more than 250 certified personal trainers, and a diverse array of fitness programmes, i-Fitness continues to lead the transformation of Nigeria’s fitness culture. 

    According to Ogunwale, recent expansion efforts include the opening of three branches at Iponri, Purple Mall, and Ogudu between October and December 2024, along with a relocation and upgrades of several existing branches.

    “As the company continues to shape a fitter Lagos, its branches are designed to foster an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of fitness level, can feel comfortable and motivated to live healthier and happier lives through a fitness lifestyle,” Ogunwale added.
