A leading gym has expanded into a bustling Sunshine Coast suburb.
The 12th Jetts Gym in the region has opened at Sippy Downs. It’s located in a 330m2 space, on the top level of the new Sippy Downs Early Learning Centre.
Franchise owner Chris Evans, who owns two other local gyms, was delighted to open the doors.
“We’ve always kept an eye on Sippy Downs as it ticks so many boxes in terms on growth and demographics,” he said of the growing suburb which is close to schools, the university and the business district.
“It’s an important part of the puzzle for Jetts’ presence on the Sunshine Coast.
“To be located in a brand new building with parents dropping off their children downstairs at the Early Learning Centre, along with a Tony Kelly inspired café on the ground floor, as well as easy access to the Sippy Downs Town Centre, means we are well positioned to build a sustainable business.”
Jetts has more than 180 gyms nationwide. Mr Evans also owns gyms at the Gold Coast, Bli Bli and now Sippy Downs. He is also poised to open one at Forest Glen.

“I’ve been involved with Jetts since its inception in 2007, with the Palm Beach gym, and over the years the business has built a really strong brand because of the strong sense of community it creates as well as its modern equipment and facilities,” he said.
The director of development company Evans Long, Dirk Long, was pleased a high-profile tenant claimed the last available floor space within the Sippy Downs Early Learning Centre.

“Jetts is such as well-known and trusted national brand,” he said.
“They are a great fit for the building’s tenancy and I am sure they will achieve their membership numbers very quickly because of the quality of their gym as well as their prime location within central Sippy Downs.
“We are really pleased that the building is now 100 percent tenanted. The Early Learning Centre is nearing full capacity with enrolments, while the Miss May café continues to become a favourite location for locals and as a result it is now open seven days a week.”
Mr Evans said Jetts Sippy Downs would employ six to eight staff, including three or four personal trainers.
