Gainsborough gym will continue to support members on their fitness journey during coronavirus lockdown

Snap Fitness in Marshalls Yard only opened its doors on Boxing Day 2020 before having to shut them following the announcement of a nationwide lockdown.

But to ensure members maintain their fitness routines, the Snap team have devised a series of free online workouts which can be accessed using the platform Fitness on Demand via their tablet or smartphone.

To keep up the momentum, Snap personal trainers will be regularly sharing inspiration and workouts via their social media accounts to support the Snap community.

Charlotte Toplass, tenant liaison executive at Marshall’s Yard, said: “We were saddened to hear news of the gym’s closure after such a short period of opening, but we do appreciate that safety restrictions must be in place for now.

“We are delighted that Snap have found a way to continue supporting their members’ fitness routines whilst at home and we look forward to welcoming new and existing members to the gym to enjoy a safe, socially distanced workout once restrictions are lifted.”

Hannah Foster, franchise manager of the DS Group, franchisees for Snap Fitness, said: “Our first four days of opening was brilliant, high energy with lots of members starting really good fitness routines, many of them working with our team of personal trainers.

"The news of the lockdown hit the team hard, they worked so hard in the build up to our Boxing Day opening, including late into the evening on Christmas Eve.

“We are using the time to add some finishing touches to the club, including new music, reactive LED lighting in the studios and installation of MyZone Hardware.

"Our PTs and team will be posting inspiration on social media, including tips and workouts as well as club news, through the closure.

"We are also offering all of our members free access to Fitness on Demand from home, which contains hundreds of at home work-outs, to keep them in routine and motivated.

“All memberships have been automatically frozen.”
