COMMUNITY GYM<br />
CELEBRATES 5 YEARS<br />
IN BUSINESS<br />
Paul and Julie Blackler have long dreamt of owning a<br />
gym. So when theopportunity arose tostartupAnytime<br />

Fortheavidgym-goers, embarking on this new journey<br />
wasn’t just a good business decision; it was a lifestyle<br />
choice.<br />
The couple are acutely aware of the health benefits<br />
of exercise: Paul has battled with his weight since<br />
his youth, and Julie was regularly hospitalized as a<br />
child withchronicasthma.WhileJulieoutgrewher<br />

From the get-go, Julie and Paul were particularly focused on creating a welcoming and<br />
inclusive space.<br />
“Our aim was to open a gym where everyone feels comfortable. We’ve been to too many<br />
gyms where it’s all about lifting the most weights or wearing the latest gym gear; that’s<br />
not what we’re about. We’re here to help our members reach their health goals in a<br />
welcoming and friendly environment.”<br />
New membersreceive complementary fitness consultation, body scan and workout plan<br />
from their coach, who will be on hand toguidethemastheyembarkontheirjourney.<br />

ARE YOU SICK OF BEING<br />
OVERWEIGHT AND<br />
FEELING TIRED?<br />
Iwas so over the feeling of being tired all the time and being overweight. Ilooked<br />
for help and found it in aprogramcalled Phatt (putting health at the top)<br />
