Ladies-only gym opens in Essex
Ent repreneur Shamir Choudhury has invested more than £80,000 in building a brand new ladies-only health club in Goodmayes, Essex, which he has kitted out with Star Trac equipment. Choudhury, founder and
owner of Energise Health Club, chose to launch the new club after identifying a need for a facility designed specifically for women. He felt that busy gyms were often off-putting for women, especially when working out with people with different fitness goals – an issue he wanted to tackle. “Working out in a comfortable environment
is a really important factor for a lot of women, especially if they’re insecure about their bodies or are new to exercise and are not sure what to expect,” he explains. “There are so many barriers to women
exercising, so I wanted to strip all that back and create an inviting, welcoming space where they want to spend time working out.”
The club will look to attract women who are new to exercise and fitness Star Trac equipment at the club includes
pieces from the S-Series cardio range and dual and single station pieces from the Instinct strength range. Crèche facilities are available on-site, as
well as personal training, nutritional advice, health checks and body massage therapy. Monthly membership at Energise Health
Club starts from £30. Choudhury is already planning to open further Energise sites in the area. Details:
