Where has 10 years gone?

In August 2016 Charlotte and I started our very first fitness class. Both juggling full time jobs, we managed to make Blast Fitness sustainable enough to become our "proper jobs".

In 2018 we opened our first gym at Ridgewood Community Centre, shortly followed by the birth on our twins Evelyn and Jackson. We met great people and made life long friends from here too.

Since then we have upgraded gyms twice, both staying in the place we call home at Ridgewood!

10 years on, we have survived Covid lockdowns, we've survived dips in business (usually when I go missing on social media for a year and wonder why nobody has heard of us 😂), but today, in August - naturally one of the quietest months for gyms, we are at our business ever, we've taken on loads of new members and even had to put on extra sessions.

So Charlotte and I want to say a massive thank you to absolutely everyone who has been part of this journey. From people who have been with us from the start (yes there are a few), to new members, and anyone who helps share us and recommend us on social media. Every single one of you have helped us become what we are today.

Thank you!

Here's to the next 10 years.

A lot of people assume gyms have to feel intense.

Loud music.
Crowded spaces.
Everyone pushing as hard as possible.

But for many people, that environment just isn’t enjoyable.

At Blast Fitness we focus on something different.

A calm, supportive space where people feel comfortable.

Where you’re coached properly.

And where you leave feeling better than when you arrived.

That’s why so many of our members say:

“This is the only gym I’ve ever stuck to.”

Welcome to the 500 Club Mark Bateman.

Mark is the 6th member to achieve 500 sessions at Blast Fitness, and is the first male member of the club.

Mark joined us 6 years ago this month. He attended his very first session with us just before heading straight into the first lockdown. The commitment to attend all the Zoom sessions when he hardly knew us was amazing.

Mark often heads of traveling and still manages to be extremely consistent with his sessions.

With retirement round the corner, Mark might even want to spend more time with us!

Congratulations 🎊
