Creative Director Dan Perrin said the venue was "perfect", stating: "After loads of sold out parties across the UK and beyond, we are really excited about the next chapter in Sankeys' 30-year rave history. We have found a perfect venue in Swansea and the community has been so welcoming and supportive. We think this opening party on May 14 will be one for the record books!"
Ware-house gym was founded in 2021 by professional boxer and house-music enthusiast, Chris Ware. Chris is also the man behind the cult-favourite gym, Funky Pump, which is popular for its unique nightclub environment which has live DJs playing while members work out.

A spokesman for Sankeys added: "Situated on a large industrial estate and as part of the incredible gym complex, this summer Sankeys will bring the biggest artists, brands and parties to Wales on a regular basis.
"Consisting of several huge spaces including The Arena - a huge, imposing warehouse room - and more intimate space, The Lab, the new club will feature world class sound and light as well as lots of other hidden spaces to explore deep into the night.
"This will be a new chapter not only in Welsh dance music history, but in the history of the UK's dance music scene as a whole."
