Kay reports rise in young gym-goers
THE manager of an independent gym in Sheffield has reported a massive increase in the amount of young people training at the club.
Kay Blackburn, who has managed The Max Fitness Centre for 11 years, told Workout: “I don’t know where they have all come from.
“We have a few members over 40, then the rest are under 25 – there seems to be nothing inbetween.”
The gym is located close to Sheffield University, and students make up around 30 per cent of the club’s membership.

Independent gym holds its own
AN independent gym on the Isle of Man is holding its own against some of the other more well known chains on the island.
Director Amanda Gunning opened Nautilus Plus four years ago with 66 members moving with her from a previous venture.
Today she has grown the business so that she now has more than 1,000 members, a dramatic increase she puts down to the gym’s handy location. More than 40 per cent of the members are female, with ages ranging from 16 to 80.
