A new 24-hour gym could open in Manor Royalafter a planning application was submitted. Pump Gyms, marketed as "high-specification, low-cost membership gyms", has applied to open a gym in Sackville House, Manor Royal, to provide leisure facilities for residents across the north of the town.

The planning statement, prepared on behalf of Pumps Gyms, has stated that the gym hopes to change the use of the building in Northwood Park, Gatwick Road, from a vacant office space into a gym with "spacious training areas" including free weights, cardio and strength equipment. Pump Gyms - which already owns six other sites across the UK - would also run fitness classes at the site for members to partake in at no additional cost.
