A new gym opening its doors very soon will give the Essendon
Fields community a chance to trim up in time for summer and lose
those unwanted kilos. Operating successfully in Brunswick for seven
years, Fitness Addix is a gym focused on improving the fitness of
its clients by offering personalised service with a difference.
Owner of Fitness Addix, 32-year-old Kelly Britter is looking
forward to expanding her business further and said Essendon Fields
is a place whereher business has the potential to thrive located at
92 Bristol Street. "After looking at a few locations, I chose
Essendon Fields because the area is developing. There are also no
gyms at Essendon Fields and it's a really good area to have one in
as it will benefit the community. The building I have chosen, which
is currently under renovation will have plenty of space for the
gym," Kelly said.
Fitness Addix is a fitness facility that will be results-driven,
while also having an inviting environment. "It will be similar to
Fitness Addix in Brunswick. It will be a unique, boutique style of
gym. Clients will be able to do fitness outdoors as well so really,
it is different and not typically commercial at all. There will
also be social events and the atmosphere will be fun, motivational
and inspiring,"she said.
"The best thing about our gym is that it will deliver a
personalised service. We always get to know our clients so our
approach is different to alot of gyms. We will also offer some free
programs and keep programs reasonably priced, while operating seven
days a week," Kelly adds.
The new fitness facility will have staff that excel in customer
service and are highly trained with certificates in fitness and
first aid. "I have a new team ready to go who have been training at
theBrunswick Fitness Addix gym. They are a young,vibrant team who
have excellent skills in health and fitness. It really is a great
team to get on board with," she said.
As well as having competent staff, the gym will boast
state-of-the-art equipment and it will be ideal for boot camps as
it will be situated on 500 metres of land. Fitness Addix will cover
all types of fitness training such as boxing, martial arts,
strength conditioning, weights, cardio and a number of different
and innovative types of classes. The gym will cater for all types
of people from corporate, stay at home mums, to elite athletes.
Kelly started her career as a personal trainer 12 years ago and
she has built an extensive list of clients which has enabled her to
pursue her dream of starting her own gym. For many years Kelly
competed as a body builder and has also been heavily involved in
kickboxing. Kelly wanted to pursue her career in health and fitness
because of her love of seeing people reach their health and fitness
potential. "I love seeing the transition in people. Being able to
see people go from having no confidence at all to gaining
confidence is really what makes it all worth it. My job is all
about improving people's health," she said.
"I believe I am a very hands-on personal trainer. My clients can
ring me 24/7 if they have any questions about food or anything they
need help with. I build strong relationships and always tell my
clients that for best results, it is all about balance. I have had
some clients for 11 years," Kelly said.
As many people try to fight the battle of the bulge Kelly offers
this advice, "being healthy is about realising where you are at,
eating well and balance. It is not about fad diets, consistency is
the key."
