Hi, I've used this site a fair bit over the years and found it very helpful, but this is the first time I've posted a request.  There's a company called Attiva which is opening health clubs (gym, exercise classes, sauna etc) around the UK, and they use 0871 numbers.  For example, the one in Uttoxeter where I live is 0871 500 444.  I've done all the Google searching as suggested in the 'guide to finding geographical numbers' and haven't found anything, so I'd be grateful for any help you can give.

NB: Attiva also run beauty salons, and these have geographical numbers listed, but they are separate businesses from the health clubs.

Thanks.

Please can you post the address and website details if available (this is also detailed in the guide, aside from the searching).

The Attiva website at www.attivauk.com shows that the clubs are frachises.

Different clubs have different 0871/0870 numbers which don't bear similarity to one another. Those clubs which have yet to open have the 0845 2301365 number against them, which is the general Attiva number.

jgxenite: aarrgghh sorry sorry sorry - I did read the guide, honest... I'll try to remember next time.  *goes off to don hair shirt*

Dave: thanks very much, that's ace.  I'll try directory enquiries myself another time.

Ah.  The landline number that directory enquiries gave is for the Attiva beauty salon.  This is a separate number, telephone line, and business franchise from the health club with its 0871 number.  (The beauty salon and health club are next door to each other so they have the same postcode.  Very confusing, I know, particularly as they are both franchises of the Attiva brand.)  So I still don't have a geographical number for the health club in Uttoxeter.  The website for the head office, and the addresses, are as given by Dave.  The website for the Uttoxeter club is http://www.attivauk.com/uttoxeter.php.  If anyone can help... even though I am a rubbish newbie who didn't follow the instructions properly... I would still be very grateful.  Thanks.

I'll let you off, just this one :P.

Have you tried ringing head office and saying you do not wish to call the 0871 number and would like a geographic number to call? They might be willing to release it if your business depended on it.

Can I take this hair shirt off then?  It's really uncomfortable...

No I haven't tried that, good idea, thanks.  I bet they're not there today, I'll give it a go on Tues.  

Googling reveals that "Sylvester Fun Gym" resides or resided on Town Meadows Way, telephone 01889 566604. Is this the unit where the Attiva Health Club is now?

If not, what company occupied the building/floor that Attiva Health Club is now in?

Dear All,

This is Craig Farman, MD of Attiva Health Clubs. I hadnt realised that people were looking for the club geographical numbers but I am more than happy for you to have them all. We have clubs in Andover, Coventry, Uttoxeter and Barbados. Numbers are as follows:

Andover   01264 356064
Coventry  02476 650305
Uttoxeter  01889 569321

Head Office  01743 358487

Haven't included the Barbados club but anyone going there who wants to use the club message us at head office and we can give you the details.

The numbers for the beauty salons in all the clubs are different from the main club numbers as the salons are run by the beauticians themselves and therefore are different businesses.

The Sylvester Fun Gym that you mentioned Dave is actually a separate childrens play gym business based next door to the Attiva Health Club in Uttoxeter.

Hope this helps with the confusion. If anyone has any other queries please give me a call on the head office number above or send me a message to craigfarman@attivauk.com. Helen....if you want any info specifically about Uttoxeter give me a call or email me.

Hello Craig, welcome to the forum. Thank you very much for your post including the geographic numbers for the relevant clubs. Do you mind me asking why you have 087x numbers for your clubs when you are quite willing to give out the geographic numbers if we ask?
