John Reed Fitness Music Club is an international health club chain with studios in Europe and the USA. It is a brand of the RSG Group, whose headquarters are located in Schlüsselfeld and Berlin, Germany. With more than 4.5 million members, the RSG Group is one of the leading fitness companies worldwide. It also owns the fitness brands McFit and Gold's Gym.
The first John Reed Fitness Club opened in Bonn in 2016.[1] Rainer Schaller, who also founded the health club chain McFit, wanted to bring a studio concept onto the market with John Reed that placed a strong focus on the interior design and the musical accompaniment during training. This approach should be significantly different from his own chain McFit and classic fitness studio chains in order to appeal to broader target groups.[2] The second John Reed Fitness Music Club opened in July of the same year in Salzburg, Austria.[3] In 2017, a John Reed Club opened exclusively for women in the Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin.[4] From then on, rapid expansion followed across Europe: in 2017, clubs opened in the Czech Republic[5] and Hungary,[6] in 2019 the entry into Switzerland followed.[7][8] In 2020, John Reed opened in Turkey,[9][10][11] in 2021 in the Netherlands[12] and the United Kingdom.[13][14]
In 2022, John Reed Fitness Music Club cooperates with soccer world champion Sergio Ramos and opens a joint studio in the Spanish capital Madrid under the name SERGIO RAMOS by John Reed.[15] After the death of John Reed's founder, Rainer Schaller, the collaboration with Sergio Ramos was dissolved in 2023. The studio continues to exist, but now under the name McFit Gold.[16] Global expansion into the US market followed with the studio opening in 2022 in Dallas[17][18] and 2023 in Hollywood in Los Angeles.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Today (as of October 2023), the chain has 48 locations in 12 countries.
