Irish gym chain FLYEfit is opening four new gyms in Dublin and is to create 120 new jobs. The gyms will be located in city centre, northside and southside of the city. The company is investing €10 million in the new gyms. The business expansion is related to an increase in demand from customers who took up exercise during the Covid-19 pandemic.
