WE DON'T BELIEVE IN SWEATING WITHOUT A SMILE

It was 2011 after a great workout class, it was a conversation about finding a gym that did more of the classes we loved.
Wouldn't that be great? A gym like no other, a place where you could just be yourself with no disapproving glances, rolled eyeballs, tuts or sighs! Inventive classes to get results, instructors to INSPIRE, a place where fitness could be ENJOYED, not feared, a place where you are a name not a number, a place... before the thought had chance to end we found a venue, quit our jobs and got to work! Fast forward a few years and you will see we are still constantly adding to our timetable and to our equipment, as well as our exceptional Hourglass Team, and we still care just as much about making exercise accessible and more importantly - FUN! After all, fitness isn't a fad, it's a LIFESTYLE. |
Kate and Chloe poured all their love and energy into Hourglass Fitness Club and made it into the Club it is today. A place where all inhibitions are left at the door, a place where you're part of a community and most importantly a place where exercise is fun!
In 2018, Chloe decided to step away from the Club and go to work on Yachts and travel the world with her partner. An opportunity as amazing as that is not one to let pass. In the same year, Kate welcomed a healthy and happy baby into the world. Very soon after she fell pregnant again and then welcomed another beautiful baby into the world in 2019. Despite trying to raise two tiny humans Kate still gave it her all when trying to run Hourglass Fitness Club. She gave it her all but raising two young children is not an easy job, especially when trying to run a business at the same time. Towards the end of 2019, Kate made one of the hardest decisions and decided it was time to close the doors to Hourglass Fitness Club.
We all thought that was it.
BUT...
Along came Francesca and Ali.

As a previous instructor at Hourglass Fitness Club, Francesca knew just how amazing the Club was. She knew that closing Hourglass closing was not an option so she decided to act on this.
Francesca and her partner Ali decided they would take on Hourglass and keep the Club we all know and love open for business. They couldn't let Kate and Chloe's hard work go to waste. In December 2019, Hourglass Fitness Studios opened its doors for the first time and it was a day to remember. It hasn't been the easiest of rides but Hourglass Fitness Studios is here to stay! |

LIFE IS BETTER SHARED
Studies show that we are more motivated in a group environment and are therefore more likely to stick at it and find it more enjoyable.
VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE
With a regularly updated timetable brimming with talented instructors and hot off the press fitness workouts
we have classes for all ages and all fitness levels - it really is hard to find an excuse why not to love it!
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Our team of highly qualified instructors have studied in their fields for many years.
They ensure you train safely and effectively whilst pushing you to get the most out of you.
ATMOSPHERE IS ADDICTIVE
We all know the power of good vibes. Working out in a room full of energy is encouraging and invigorating.
Pumping music and lots of sweaty and smiling faces is the perfect recipe for motivation!
