A MOBBERLEY man wants to create a ‘fitness revolution’ after setting up a new gym.

Personal trainer Chris Birtles has set up ‘The Hive’ – an indoor boot camp and personal training facility located in Stanley Green, Cheadle.

Chris said: “I think there’s too much emphasis on pampering these days – posh gyms with prices to match.

“I started The Hive to get back to basics. Our clients don’t need memberships and contracts – they pay as they go and get incredible results.

“We offer class workouts, one-on-one training and group sessions. There’s something for everyone, and if you put in the effort, you’ll see major results.

“We use unique equipment like tyres, ropes and sleds, and it’s high intensity.

“Some of the workouts are unconventional, like tyre flipping, but I always say if you want your body to stand out in a crowd do something different and focus.”

Chris, 28, worked as a personal trainer for eight years before taking the plunge and launching his new venture.
