A NEW business is set to take over the home of an adventure park which suddenly closed its doors.
Padel&Core, which describes itself as the city's first "padel and wellness club", will be taking over Unit 21 at the Mortimer Trading Estate, which was previously operated by Flip Out, which closed in June after owners had exhausted every option to keep the business afloat.
It has now been revealed that the building is in the process of being transformed into a new centre which will include five full-sized indoor padel courts, a gym, a reformer pilates studio, an ice bath and sauna, and a cafe/ a protein shake bar.
According to Companies House, Darren Sockett is a director of Padel&Core, along with Sockett Properties, a company which was listed as the building's landlord among documents relating to Jump House Hereford.
A spokesperson for the business said: "This isn’t just another gym. We’re creating a premium training space built for everyone – whether you’re chasing a new PB, training for HYROX, building strength, sculpting glutes or simply looking to train with the very best equipment."

The spokesperson said the reformer pilates studio is "starting to take shape", and will include nine beds, and will be designed to be a "premium space" which can be used by beginners and experienced users.
"We’ll be offering instructor-led classes, but also something a little different for those who prefer to move at their own pace," they added.
"With Technogym VISIO, the studio will feature an interactive touchscreen display giving you access to hundreds of workouts and classes. During selected off-peak times, you’ll be able to join in with guided VISIO sessions and follow the workout on screen at a pace that suits you.
"Whether you prefer the energy of an instructor-led class or the flexibility of a guided VISIO session, there’ll be something for everyone."
No official opening date has yet been given, but one of the previous posts suggests that it will be in Autumn 2026.
Yesterday (October 22), the business put out a hiring call and is seeking to employ duty managers, a general manager, fitness instructors, padel coaches, and front of house staff, and a cafe team.
