“ I was asked to feature a gym in Morpeth last November. When the owner, Shaun, rang me and suggested I went for a visit and to be “put through my paces” I was less than enthusiastic. Whilst I was impressed with his sales pitch, sporting activity is not my thing so I wasn’t exactly looking forward to it. However with a post Christmas indulgence hangover and a newsletter to compile, I made the call. Bodymechanix is on Coopies Lane Industrial Estate, which feels like an odd place for a gym, but once inside the facilities are excellent. As I shuffled around in a gym kit, previously known only to my sofa, I was surprised at the scale of his set up. There are two fully equipped gyms – one is for personal training only, and has a boxing ring. The other has a swipe card entrance and members can let themselves in and use the facilities to suit themselves. Both gyms have satellite TV and there is also a studio space where a range of classes including pole dancing and belly dancing are held.

So the training session… When Shaun said he hoped I’d enjoy it, I thought, “fat chance”, but there is something about a one to one session with a qualified instructor that makes you focus and get on with it, and it wasn’t as unpleasant as I’d thought. I particularly enjoyed the boxing training and I was pleased to learn I had a decent punch…

Shaun offers a flexible way of getting or keeping fit. There is gym membership, at reasonable rates, fitness classes, boxing and self defence training - and the personal training which is tailored to an individual’s needs. It is at this point that I admit I have continued with my sessions. I still look at the clock, but I’m seeing the results and if Shaun can coax a performance out of a confirmed sofa surfer like me, there’s hope for everyone else…”
