“It’s in a really good location.
“There are a few other gyms in the area, and they all offer quite different training from us, so I am hoping we can work with and alongside each other. They’ve all been really welcoming and I love the fact everyone is keen to work with each other.
“We are all passionate about fitness and helping people.
“We’ve got a variety of classes on the timetable. Many of them involve body weight exercises and equipment like kettlebells and boxes.
“We also have aerial classes, and pole fitness.
“We have a team of great instructors with different backgrounds and experience.
