A NEW business is set to open in Yate Shopping Centre. 

Pure Gym will open on Friday, March 31, replacing Shan's Cabaret Bar and the first floor space of Little Giggles, which shut in December following weeks of uncertainty surrounding its future.

The new gym will be open 24/7 with staffed and unstaffed hours - the CCTV team will monitor the gym during unstaffed hours. 

Classes will be in the morning, lunchtime and evening.
