A new fitness studio has opened at a business park in South Ribble.

Founded by Mel Bartley from Lostock Hall the two-floor studio at South Rings Business Park, Bamber Bridge, is her first permanent base.

Her fitness business was founded in 2013 and the 27-year-old says her one-to-one fitness sessions as growing in popularity.

She said: “It’s clear that some people are more inclined to get going if they can do so without having to join a class or exercise in front of others.

“I’ve wanted to offer clients the ability to train in a private and dedicated space for a long time and the phone has been going non-stop with people booking in consultations so I’m confident this is going to be a huge success.”
