Unit 4d Hawthorn Court, Bourton Industrial Park, Bourton on the Water, GL54 2HQ
Gym Open Day! Saturday 2nd July 8am – 3pm. Free trials and
consultations and no joining fee (worth £50!) with this publication.
The gym at Cotswold Health and Fitness Club is on the business park in
Bourton on the Water and was started in Jan 2008 by Alex Doggett.
The team has expanded into the next door unit which nicely fits in with
their ambitions to grow. Indeed, since they started, the personal
trainers have increased from two to four and the range of equipment
and services has increased dramatically.
One thing Alex always points out is that exercise should be enjoyable.
This gym is friendly and fun, yet professional with expert advice always
on hand. Along with personal training, the Cotswolds Health Club
offers gym memberships, vibration training, pilates, yoga and
integrated complementary therapy. Everyone who joins has their
programmes designed and monitored by one of four highly qualified
personal trainers.
If you really do not know where to start, but know you really should
make that first step, a gym can be a very daunting place, especially for
those lacking in confidence or experience. A personal trainer is a great
way to begin. Cotswolds Health and Fitness Club invite you to call in
and have a friendly chat about how we could help. In a few weeks, you
could feel far better able to deal with the stresses of everyday life as
well as feeling stronger and fitter than you ever have before.
Ed Shaw (personal trainer) has been with Alex since Jan 2008. He was
educated at Cheltenham College, went to Nottingham Trent University
where he read Sports and Science with Coaching. He like the other
trainers has REPs to level 3. Ed also uses the InterX machine which is
widely used by physiotherapists especially in the USA. This device has
been used to treat a wide range of painful conditions; bruising, painful hip
joints, bad back and many more. Ed’s training of Adam Henson on Country
File (BBC) was widely seen by many. Ed can be reached on 07727020160.
A newcomer to the expanded gym is Ken Hurst-Earl BCMA, a
practitioner of 18yrs experience in the field of complementary
healthcare. Ken is the founder of Soma Healthcare which includes a
range of therapies including Acupuncture, Allergy Testing and
Treatment, Connective Tissue Treatment and Bowen/NST. This enables
him to take a much broader view and treatment approach than would
otherwise be possible with a single discipline. He is also the developer
of Soma Release, specializing in the relief of pain and restriction
caused by trauma and postural problems. Ken is currently offering free
consultations for anyone interested in exploring how these therapies
may help them. You can contact Ken on 07773333673 or
k.hurstearl@btinternet.com.
Their latest use of some of the extra space was to invite Dr Peter Dean
(a local water colourist who took over the space in Talbot Court to help
out the tenant) to exhibit his work. The upstairs waiting room walls are
covered with local scenes, doors (something Peter has been
concentrating on recently) and Venetian scenes. The exhibition is being
installed this week, so come and visit. There is no entrance fee and you
get a chance to see the gym.
To get there go into the Industrial Park in Bourton, go down to Travis
Perkins, turn right after 50yds. The gym is in the far left corner of the
estate next to Stow Physiotherapy. A more detailed map is available on
our website.
