Kerry is a Personal Trainer and Online coach, and has been for 10 years. Apart from enjoying the obvious (the gym) she enjoys hiking, exploring new walks with her dog, drinking overpriced coffee, and cross-sitching rude words. Basically, a self-confessed old woman.

What’s your favourite bit of equipment and favourite exercise to do?
My favourite bit of kit is a Smith machine - unfortunately, I don't have one in my home gym, but it is on my list of upgrades I will make at some point. Bulgarian split squats - love and hate them.
What decision in this Gym felt risky at the time - but paid off?
Building it in the first place. I am a PT, and the gym I worked at closed, but I didn't want to end up in another chain gym paying someone else for the next decade or so. It was a huge investment for us, and we live in quite a remote area so I was unsure if my clients would be willing to travel. I've been open for 3 weeks, and my diary is full! I have a much better work/life balance now. I wish we had done it sooner.
Which part of this Gym looks ordinary in photos, but matters most to you?
The air con unit 😂 After spending the last few years working and training in an industrial unit and being freezing in the summer, and boiling in the winter, it's been a game-changer.
