Hi
I'm Rachel, founder and owner of Body Positive Fitness, the gym for people who don't do gyms!
I'm not your normal gym owner, and Body Positive is not your normal gym! I'm not young, thin or constantly posting on Instagram, however I have 23 years experience in teaching and, after to coming to fitness later in life, a passion for seeing people achieve things they never thought possible! When a personal trainer spotted that I am naturally strong and excel in lifting and Strongwoman, and that I also had an ability to train and coach others, I was encouraged to begin working in a small gym and loved it! After studying for the relevant qualifications, I decided to start out on my own!
My motto is, if I can, anyone can!
I set up Body Positive Fitness with the aim of creating an inclusive and fun environment, where people of all ages, fitness levels and body types could train and get fit in a gym that strives to be different and exceed your expectations!
So what make Body Positive different....
- We keep our classes small so that monitoring, advice, support and encouragement is always available
- Small classes also mean that all fitness levels can be catered for, beginners can follow adapted exercises, more experienced clients can be challenged!
- We have a wide range of equipment (some quite unusual!) that means our classes are up to date and never get boring!
- We have a wide range of memberships and a varied timetable, so there's something for everyone! Plus you only need to give a month's notice, but we know you'll never want to leave!
- As well as classes, you can book personal training (PT) and shared PT sessions. A completely private session planned around your fitness goals and full of the exercises that you enjoy!
- No 'ghost members'! Ie people paying but not attending. If you miss sessions, we'll make contact to find out why! We want you in the gym, having fun and getting fit!
- We are constantly reflecting on our practice and love to hear what our members have to say! If you want something, we'll do our best to make it happen!
- Our members are amazing! We welcome everyone, judge no one and love to celebrate success!
So, what are you waiting for? If you've tried 'normal gyms' and they weren't for you or if you've always been too nervous to join a gym, then try us out! Don't wait to get fitter, lose weight, find a friend to come with you... check out the website/Facebook, get in touch and come and see what we're about!
Body Positive is the last gym you'll ever need to join!
Hope to see you soon,
Rachel
