"Definitely one to try and not to be under estimated!"

STORME was given the go-ahead by Ashby de la Zouch Town Council for their new facility at a meeting in February Council approves groundbreaking new Eco gym for Ashby.

At that meeting, Julian Orme, a personal fitness trainer in Ashby who is behind the plans, explained what the new facility would offer and how it would benefit the community.

He told the committee members at the time: "We are hoping to open a facility which could cater for families, looking after young children while we exercise and be a place for the community to meet and socialise.

"It will be the first eco-powered gym in the district, the only spa facility in Ashby.

"Our ethos is health and well being - and we are trying to promote this from a very young age, from age nought in soft play, to people in later life where they can still take part in group fitness sessions. 

"Our focal point is with the interaction with coaches and staff, we make sure you never feel alone."
