What is the name of the fitness-club chain founded by Dragons' Den investor Duncan Bannatyne?

Duncan Bannatyne founded the fitness-club chain Bannatyne Fitness.

The business forms part of the Bannatyne Group, which operates health clubs, spas and hotels in the United Kingdom. Its name is directly connected to Bannatyne, the entrepreneur who became one of the most recognisable Dragons on the British programme.

Bannatyne built his career through several industries before expanding into health and fitness. That background gave him experience in franchising, property, operations and consumer services—areas that often matter when evaluating a pitch.

Bannatyne Fitness is not the same company as PureGym, Nuffield Health or David Lloyd Clubs. Those are separate fitness or health-club businesses. The distinctive clue is the use of Bannatyne’s surname in the chain’s name.
