A COMPANY that makes fitness clothing for women has launched its 65th store in the town.
Sweaty Betty sells women’s multi-sport wear, including items for running, yoga, training and hiking.
Caroline Scott, Sweaty Betty’s Senior Vice President of Global Retail said: “We are thrilled to open our latest shop in the historic market town of Wokingham, Berkshire.
“This new store is the perfect addition to the town’s boutique offering and will serve as a go-to destination for fitness and wellness enthusiasts.”
The Wokingham store is offering complimentary services as well as its active wear, with in-store workout classes, and community events being planned to start next month.
Store manager Samantha says: “We’ve been so busy, from the moment we opened.
“There was a queue up the road to get in on our opening day, with people saying that they had been looking for something like this.
“We’re not only a shop for people doing high kicks though.
“We do sell outerwear as well, and everyone is welcome to come inside and have a look round.”
The Wokingham branch plans to run free fitness classes every Sunday for local people.
“We’ll be supporting local teachers by inviting them to come in to lead the sessions,” says Samantha.
People will be able to book a place for weekend work-outs, once they are up and running.
The new store also has plans to start a running club.
It will be for a mixed ability group, and will start outside the shop.
“Once our team has settled in we’ll be launching these community activities from November onwards.
“I’m a Wokingham girl, and community is what we like,” adds Samantha.
To register interest for the fitness classes or running club, people should tspeak to staff at the store, which is located on Peach Street.
