The owner of Fitness Zone, Mr Goh Kiat Chun, recently stated that Fitness Zone has plans to open up another fitness club - a three-storey building with a floor space of about 35,000 sq ft - designed to cater for all kinds of sports and fitness enthusiasts. The second club, which will be located at the Kiulap area, is expected to be ready by early 2005.

The proposed club will be the first fitness complex in Brunei which would meet the international standard. The club will consist of fitness and sporting facilities including an indoor multi-purpose hall, a badminton court and a basketball court where the management has plans to organise several sporting events. The management also has plans to include an indoor lap pool, which is currently pending approval.

Meanwhile this October, a café will be opening soon at The Mall, in front of the existing Fitness Zone Centre. The concept of the café will be different from other health cafés.

The café will have a big projector screen where diners can sit and watch TV, pool tables, and a lounge that will be divided into two sections - the relaxation lounge and the "pool and dart" lounge.

The lounge would be a perfect place to organise a social gathering. A variety of coffee, health refreshments, smoothies such as protein juice and yoghurt will be on offer at the café. French gourmet food such as bread, pastry, croissant, sandwiches will also be available, prepared by a French gourmet-trained baker.

Fitness Zone is currently offering the "International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) Passport" programme to members, especially those who travel frequently, to help travellers maintain their regular workout schedules.

The IHRSA Passport Programme is the industry's largest and most successful reciprocal access guest membership programme. As Part of the IHRSA Passport Programme, members of Fitness Zone will be able to maintain their regular workout schedules whilst travelling at any participating health club across the globe. In addition, Fitness Zone will offer travelling members of other IHRSA clubs access to its facilities when they visit Brunei.
