French GP Capzanine has backed the secondary owner buyout of France-based group Moving, which manages a chain of fitness clubs.

Capzanine is taking a minority stake in the group, investing alongside Moving CEO Philippe Herbette. M Capital Partners, which first invested in the group in 2015, is also staying on as minority investor.

Capzanine injected new money into the company, and also acquired the shares of previous investor Développement & Partenariat, which had backed Moving in 2009 through a €4m investment round. Développement & Partenariat is fully exiting the group through this transaction.
