THE region’s biggest live workout took place in intu Trafford Centre at the weekend to mark the official launch of Workout In, a new online fitness website created by an Ollerton entrepreneur.

Up to 150 people from across North West donned tracksuits and trainers and worked up a sweat in at the ‘Workout In – Live’ event in The Orient on Saturday morning, September 20.

Workout In is a new online fitness concept co-founded by Ollerton resident Patricia Koch. After identifying a gap in the market for flexible fitness for professionals and busy parents, Patricia and her trainer Andy Johnson created the website, which allows clients to connect live to an expert fitness instructor by webcam and workout together.

Trainers from the site, including former Coronation Street star Scott Wright, kept crowds hot and sweaty with sessions of cardio box fit, toning and yoga at Saturday’s live session. The event was free to attend and all participants earned themselves a complimentary workout with the online site, as well as a goody bag packed with health and fitness treats.
