Leejam Sports, a leading sports club company in the Kingdom and the region, announced the opening of a new men’s fitness center in Riyadh on Wednesday, reflecting its ongoing ambitious expansion strategy. The new center, which will operate under the popular Fitness Time Express brand, is strategically located on Al-Takhassusi Street in the vibrant Al-Ma’athar Al-Shamali district of the city.
Expansion in line with the Kingdom's Vision 2030
This opening comes within a broader context aligned with the goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, specifically the Quality of Life Program, which aims to increase the percentage of people participating in physical activities and sports. Leejam Sports plays a pivotal role in achieving these objectives by providing modern and accessible sports facilities for a wide segment of the population. The continued expansion of the Fitness Time club network not only contributes to promoting public health but also supports the growth of the sports sector as a key contributor to the non-oil national economy.
Global specifications and features
According to a statement issued by the company and published on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul), the new center is equipped with state-of-the-art, high-specification fitness equipment and the latest modern designs for which the Fitness Time chain is renowned. The "Express" model is designed to provide fast and convenient service, often operating 24 hours a day, offering members significant flexibility and catering to the diverse lifestyles of residents in major cities like Riyadh. The center includes all the essential services and facilities to ensure members have a comprehensive and motivating fitness experience.
Financial and economic impact
The company expects the financial impact of this opening to begin appearing in its results starting from the first quarter of 2026. This announcement reflects the company's confidence in the local market and its ability to achieve sustainable growth. Locally, the center's opening will contribute to stimulating economic activity in the Al-Ma'athar Al-Shamali district and surrounding areas, in addition to creating new job opportunities in sports training, management, and operations. Each new center represents a valuable addition to the Kingdom's sports infrastructure and reinforces Leejam Sports' position as the largest operator of health clubs in the Middle East and North Africa region.
