💙 20 YEARS OF POWERZONE GYM! 💙
What a ride it’s been! 🥹🙌🏻
20 years ago, fresh out of the Army, I took every penny I had, borrowed a bit more, and managed to buy a gym off a mate.
Back then, we opened from 2pm until 8pm and had about 20-odd people coming through the doors each day. Little did I know what that place would become!
Around 13 years ago, we decided to take a different approach. We wanted to move away from being that scary, hardcore bodybuilding gym that people were nervous to walk into.
We added a pinch of commercial gym feel, but more importantly, a hell of a lot of community! 💙
And that’s what made Powerzone what it is today.
Year after year, we’ve grown from strength to strength, expanded, welcomed thousands of new faces and built something that I’m incredibly proud of.
Along the way, we’ve made lifelong friendships, shared some unbelievable memories and, sadly, lost a few bloody good people who will always be part of the Powerzone family. 🥹💙
Owning this gym has genuinely been one of the greatest honours of my life.
Yes, we’ve helped people lose weight, build muscle and get fitter. But for me, it’s always been about so much more than that.
We’ve watched people grow in confidence, overcome tough times, make friendships, turn their lives around and become better versions of themselves.
And the truth is, Powerzone has probably done just as much for me as I’ve done for it. 💙
It hasn’t always been easy. There have been plenty of ups and downs, stressful days and times I’ve wondered what the hell I’m doing! 😂
But I wouldn’t change the journey for the world.
To every member, past and present, every member of staff, every friend and everyone who’s supported us over the last 20 years…
THANK YOU! 🙌🏻
You haven’t just helped build a gym. You’ve helped build a family.
And believe me, we’re not finished yet! 😎💪
We’ve got a big birthday party coming up on Saturday 14th November, and I want to see as many old and new faces there as possible to celebrate 20 incredible years together!
Here’s to the next 20 years! 🍻 (Pre-workout shots, obviously 😂)
