The Gym Aber

Shwmae! Dewch i nabod Lewis! 👋
Over the next few days, we’ll be introducing you to the team behind The Gym! 👋🏼
We’ve asked each team member a few questions so you can get to know the people behind the classes, coaching and community a little better.
First up… Lewis! 👀 📸 Nue Design | Design & Marketing Agency
Yep, the man himself! 😂

Here are his answers 👇🏼

1. What’s your favourite exercise?
Power cleans.

2. What’s one thing people might not know about you?
I represented Wales at U16, U18 and U20 level in rugby. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

3. Why did you start coaching?
I’ve always loved sport and training, and coaching gave me a way to turn that into helping other people improve. I really enjoy coaching Functional Fitness and seeing the progression our members make - that motivates me to keep pushing them further.
Another big reason I started coaching was to give something back to the local community. As a teenager, I was lucky enough to be coached by some brilliant coaches in Aberystwyth, as well as professional coaches throughout my rugby career. That had a huge impact on me, and it’s one of the reasons I enjoy coaching our Teens S&C sessions so much. I want to help give the next generation the same opportunities, support and confidence that I had growing up.

4. What are you most excited about at our new home? 🏠
Having the space to finally bring everything together under one roof and build the gym and community we’ve always wanted. I’m really looking forward to welcoming both our current members and new faces into the space and seeing everyone enjoy what we’ve created.🤩

5. One piece of advice you’d give to someone starting their fitness journey?
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Don’t try to change everything overnight. Start small, stay consistent, train with purpose and, most importantly, enjoy the process.💪

🙋🏼‍♀️ Hands up if you’re excited for the kids to go back to school!! 😂
