THERE'S NO EXCUSE for not getting in your daily exercise now we have out very own fitness studio, Motiv8, on site at Marshall’s Court run by instructor, Jenny Cromack. We welcome Jenny and find out about how she’s going to whip you lot into shape…
Hi Jenny, welcome to the development. What were you doing before you came here?
I was operating as a freelance personal trainer for 4 years, but recently I decided to go into business with Motive8, a London based fitness consultancy business. Together we have created Motive8 North and have opened our first studio here.
Can you tell us why you decided to join forces with Motive8?
I wanted to create a studio which had more equipment in order to provide more stimulating workouts for clients. Whilst we still do home visits, many of our home clients have started using the studio as they prefer the space.
So, what can you offer the tenants here at the Round Foundry and Marshall’s Mill to get in tip top shape?
We offer personal training and small group training sessions in addition to fitness classes such as Zumba, Pilates and dance aerobics. Also, personal training which is tailored specifically to the individual.
What attracted you to Holbeck Urban Village?
I found that there weren’t any other fitness facilities around here and so thought this would be a prime spot for such a facility. It is also convenient for a lot of clients who work in the city centre with it being near Water Lane.
How many staff do you have?
We have two personal trainers – myself and Chris Baird, plus 5 freelance class instructors.
We hear you already have big plans for the business?
Yes, we would like people to really feel like they are getting results from the sessions and build a reputation for being the best training studio in Leeds. We also have plans to open another studio in the next 6 months.
Other than your office of course, what do you like most about being based here?
I really like the community feel which there is, everyone has made us feel very welcome and have been really helpful in promoting the studio.
