"We are so proud of the fitness revolution which began in the Red Room and has spread across a global community of loyal and supportive clients who we celebrate today. Without them, we wouldn't be in a position to drive ahead into the next 25 years. We've worked hard, had fun and innovated our hearts out to ensure we show up for our community for many years to come."
