Which company did Dragon's Den investor Duncan Bannatyne establish as a fitness-club chain?

Dragon's Den investor Duncan Bannatyne established Bannatyne Health Clubs as a fitness-club chain.

The Bannatyne Group operates health clubs, spas and hotels in the United Kingdom. Its health-club business grew from Bannatyne's wider entrepreneurial career, which also included care homes and other ventures.

Bannatyne was one of the original Dragons when the British programme began in 2005. He was known on the panel for evaluating businesses through the lens of growth, profitability and practical operations.

The company name has changed in public usage over time, and individual clubs may use variations such as Bannatyne Fitness or Bannatyne Health Club. The canonical group name is Bannatyne Health Clubs, not the names of unrelated national gym chains.
