A NEW gym in Twyford is promising to get locals fit and healthy – and there isn’t a piece of lycra in sight.
Former rugby player, Paul McGovern, who runs the fit20 studio on the High Street, says customers can exercise in a business suit during their lunch hour.
There is no loud music or mirrors and a 20-minute session once a week led by a personal trainer does not even raise a sweat.
Paul, 48, decided to open the revolutionary gym after he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes: “fit20 is a unique solution that changes the way we approach fitness. With time, commitment, and motivation being common obstacles for most people, our programme offers the perfect solution.
“I am super proud to be able to bring this to the people of Twyford.”
Paul says fit20 is perfect for people who don’t like traditional gyms, or struggle with motivation.
The training is personalised, appointment-based with each session led by a certified personal trainer in a non-intimidating, private environment, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Members train one-on-one or as a pair, without the distraction of loud music, mirrors or onlookers.
The studio is cooled to 17˚C degrees so your body does not sweat.
When Paul first discovered the fit20 method, he realised that much of his previous exercise had been directionless, leading to little progress and frequent injuries.
At fit20 performance is tracked in a specially developed app. Because all exercises are performed in slow motion and under supervision, they are safe and appropriate for people of all ages and abilities.
One client, Trish Broom, said the method is suitable to people of all ages: “I have been using it for quite a while now and was very sceptical at first as to how 20 minutes a week could possibly be of any benefit.
“The results are amazing. Within a couple of sessions I felt fitter and healthier. I was able to go up stairs without having to hold on to a rail and my clothes started to fit me better. Even my bingo wings were disappearing, something I had never managed to achieve in a conventional gym.”
Paul added: “Data from fit20 members globally was examined in the world’s largest fitness study, which went on to prove that 20 minutes a week fit20 training will increase your strength by 30 to 50 percent in your first year of training.”
