Riyadh, November 21, 2022: Leejam Sports Co. today announced the launch of Fitness Time – Irqah, the company’s 155th state-of-the-art health and fitness facility, as the brand continues to roll out an ambitious plan to dramatically expand its footprint locally and regionally.

A proud Saudi brand, Fitness Time has packed a victory punch for Saudi health and fitness, with over 367,000 active members – as of Q3 2022 – enjoying unparalleled access to a full-service fitness experience across seven brands, which offer exceptional services and cutting-edge equipment sourced from leading providers around the globe. Driven by its mission to steer society towards a healthy lifestyle, and encourage people to exercise daily, Fitness Time continues to raise the bar.
Fitness Time Irqah reflects a further evolution of the “FT” experience, with entirely reimagined spaces and innovative features that serve as the blueprint for future facilities.
