WE ARE 10!! 🙏🏼💥🎉🎂🥳👏🏼🎆🙏🏼
And it’s all thanks to you guys! It’s been a hell of a ride and one day, when we can, we will celebrate with you all! 🎊 🥂 🎈
On Tuesday January 4th 2011, Steve, David and myself (Chris) opened the doors to Oakfields Personal Training for the very first time. Having rushed around in late December 2010 tying up all the red tape - largely thanks to three of our clients, who are still training with us today - we were able to open for business as the new year dawned.
Sooooo much has happened over the past 10 years that it is impossible to sum it up in a Facebook post! Perhaps we should write a book!? 🤔📚😆
But for us all, it has been a fantastic decade full of fun times, new faces, hard work, tough training, amazing experiences, and of course your achievements and successes! Steve, Reesy and I have been lucky enough to work alongside some brilliant PT’s from different backgrounds over the years - and every one of them has added depth and character to the ‘Oakfields personality’ and help us to build such a great reputation.
For this we want to thank every trainer that has ever stepped into the gym on Oakfield Road and helped clients on their road to fitness. 💪🏼
THANK YOU! 🙏🏼
Oakfields is nothing without our clients.
We want to say a huge well done to each of you for all your hard work and an even bigger THANK YOU, for helping to make Oakfields what it is today. We quite literally would not have made it to our 10th birthday without you all - and for that, we want to share our celebrations with you.
The past year has seen us all need to adapt to keep going, to train in new ways and to work together like never before. Again, we want to take this opportunity to thank you all for being ready to train outside, in your gardens and in parks all around Bristol, and for allowing us into your homes (via FaceTime and zoom of course) to train you and your families.
When all this madness subsides, you can bank on one thing, Oakfields Personal Training will reopen its doors and welcome you all back! And we promise, no burpees on your first session! 🤯😜😂🥵
Below are just some of photos from over the years, there are many, many more! Please feel free to add to this post any memories, achievements, photos, anything you like! 😬
There’s waaaaay to many people to thank, but we’ll try - if your name isn’t here, we still thank you!!! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 And we apologise!
All the clients and trainers to ever to step inside the gym ✊🏼 and work with us, all the awesome physios from next door that we’ve worked along side over the years, to name a few, Andy, Tony, Emma, and Rich from back in the day. 🙌🏼
For helping us get off the ground, Nic, Amanda, Nick and more I’m sure- Steve, Dave, please add to this?! 😀
To our landlord Clive and his team for providing us with a great studio space.
To our neighbours on Oakfield Rd for putting up with us for all this time! To Ben for setting us up with an identity and a brand and to Timothy for keeping our website booming and up to date 👏🏼
And finally, to 2020 for making us sit back, reflect and realise just how amazing you all are!
Chris, Steve & David x
See you soon!
