Firstly, a massive thank you to ๐ก๐ฎ๐, who has been incredible and has made the gym such a welcoming place for everyone. โค๏ธ
When we opened LA18 Fitness, what we really wanted to create was a gym for people who wouldnโt normally go to a gym โ somewhere people of ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ could come and feel comfortable and included.
A year on, itโs become so much more than we could ever have hoped.
Itโs not just somewhere to get fit. Itโs become a real social space where people talk, have a laugh, make new friends and catch up with old friends they perhaps wouldnโt otherwise see very often.
But most of all, we have to thank ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐.
One thing gyms can often struggle with is etiquette โ weights being left out, equipment not being put away and generally not respecting the space or each other.
Weโve had virtually none of that. Our members have been absolutely amazing. Everyone looks after the gym and each other, and somehow after a full year the place still looks almost brand new!
So a huge ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ to every one of you. Youโre all incredible and inspiring just for turning up, making the effort and, most importantly, having fun while youโre doing it. ๐ช
And to anyone who has thought about joining but is holding back because you feel self-conscious or worry that a gym isnโt for you โ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ปโ๐.
