The property comprises approximately 3,890 sq ft of internal accommodation, together with a substantial external area and dedicated parking. The new occupier plans to transform the site into a specialist training facility centred around the rapidly growing HYROX fitness concept, which combines endurance running with functional fitness challenges.

Positioned adjacent to the railway station and on a key pedestrian route between the station and Chichester College, the location offers excellent accessibility for commuters, students and local residents, making it an ideal destination for the city's growing fitness community.

The transaction demonstrates continued demand for well-located leisure and fitness premises, particularly from experiential operators seeking highly visible and accessible locations. The arrival of a dedicated HYROX facility will further enhance Chichester's health and wellbeing offering while bringing a previously vacant property back into active use.

Richard Pyne, Partner at SHW, said: "We are delighted to have secured this letting on behalf of our client and to welcome an exciting new HYROX training facility to Chichester. HYROX has experienced remarkable growth both in the UK and internationally, reflecting increasing demand for fitness concepts that combine competition, community and measurable results.

“This property's strategic location, directly adjacent to Chichester Railway Station and within easy reach of Chichester College, makes it exceptionally well placed to support the operator's ambitions. The letting also underlines the strength of demand for quality leisure accommodation in prominent locations and highlights the continuing evolution of the retail and leisure sector as operators seek destinations that can deliver strong levels of engagement and footfall."

The new gym is expected to open following the completion of fit-out works and will provide members with specialist training facilities designed to support both competitive HYROX athletes and general fitness enthusiasts.
