Hello, and welcome to the Entrepreneurs on Monocle Radio.
The show all about inspiring people, innovative companies and fresh ideas in global business.
On today's episode, we're flipping the page on 2024 and celebrating the new year.
First, we'll meet the CEO of a luxury gym chain that's taken the English capital by storm.
One of the biggest challenges we have is our clubs are very popular.
So you've got to balance the club being buzzy without being crowded so people can get in, they get in the class they want to get onto the equipment they want.
So we've got to do our best to manage that.
And later, I'll be joined by Monocle's Editor in Chief, Andrew Tuck with a sneak peek of what's store for 2025.
Andrew, what have you got for us?
Some digital excitement and why we'll all be having more baguettes next year.
This is the Entrepreneurs with me, Tom Edwards, you're listening to the Entrepreneurs.
Colin Waggett is the CEO of ThirdSpace, a chain of luxury health clubs with 13 locations across London.
Before joining the brand, Colin founded Cycle, the popular boutique indoor cycling brand.
With more than 20 years of experience in the fitness industry, Colin now applies his expertise to driving Third Space sustainable growth while keeping member experience at the core of its strategy.
I'm delighted to welcome Colin to Midori House.
Colin, thanks so much for joining us.
Let's start at the beginning.
When you first joined Thirdspace, with your background, did you anticipate leading something that would become such an integral part of the London landscape?
That was totally the aspiration.
