Watch: Meet Fitness Pod’s New Owners
There is no membership fee
A personal trainer wants to ensure everyone who wants to get fit or build up some muscle can do so in a comfortable environment.
Christine and Andy Mills have taken over the Fitness Pod on White Hoe Industrial Estate.
The takeover is a great turn around for Christine, who Gef first met back in 2021 when she had planning permission to run training sessions out of a shed in her garden overturned.
Since then she began holding PT sessions at the Fitness Pod and now, after being given the option by the former owners, she and Andy have bought it.
She said: ‘So after my issues with the planning department, I came down here to do my PT sessions, so two/three years and yeah, onwards and upwards from there, all my PT sessions are down here now.’
The Fitness Pod doesn’t just work as a place for PT sessions, it also gives people who don’t like the idea of a big gym full of people a place to get fit and not have to worry about whether anyone is judging them.
Christine said: ‘People that sometimes have body conscious issues or social anxiety, because it is one on one, you don’t feel like people are judging you but because we have wide a wide range of equipment, this is for everyone form people starting off to, well my husband trains in here and he’s doing a body building competition in a few wees time, so it’s everyone from all works of life.’
The Fitness Pod actually has six rooms, three focussing on cardio, two of the other rooms focus more on muscles and there is also the hit pod. There are also two showers, TVs, the whole shebang.
To use the Fitness Pod you just need to be 12, parental supervision is needed for younger guests, and then go to this website to register and book sessions.
There is no membership fee and you get a special code so you can access the pod for your session.
