To all past, present and prospective new Clients –
Welcome to the first ever FitM8 Newsletter!
As we say goodbye to 2014 and welcome in the New Year, the team at FitM8 felt
it would be a great opportunity to share the news from the past year and the new
thrilling developments for clients and the community on offer for 2015!
“2014 has been an exciting year for everyone at FitM8, full of new training
programmes and products. It’s been very rewarding to see the Company achieve
a huge level of growth, relocating from our original premises to a much larger
fitness suite next door, and we now have an enhanced FitM8 team to help all our
clients achieve their personal goals”.

With the move to the bigger fitness suite in the early part of the year, it gave us
an opportunity to be able to install additional fitness equipment, undertake
two/three one-to-one personal training clients at a time and also incorporate
circuit training with up to 10 clients in one class – certainly a huge improvement
on our early beginnings next door!
As the suite grew, so did the team and
their aspirations.
Avril - a former client - joined the FITM8 team this year as a Director,
and has already managed to get us organised (no mean feat) and is a
huge asset to the business - now that we're organized! Avril commented:
Great to be part of a fun, professional team guys!
Michelle went from being a client...to fully qualifying as a personal
trainer this year and becoming a FITM8! She is doing very well and is
going on to qualify as a Pilates & Clubbercize / RAVEM8 instructor! Well
done Michelle!
Gareth joined our FITM8 team, and has gone from strength to strength
in his professional development. He is currently taking a university
degree in Nutrition to help our clients with their diet and healthy
eating plans…..We're all proud of you bud!
Here is Gareth with one of our Clients of the Month Rhian.
Brad (who also trains with our community partners YMCA) also joined
our FITM8 team, starting with the Little FITM8's Clubs and is now
training 1-2-1's and is loving his clients and being part of the FitM8
Team! Great to have him on board!
Jane also joined the team as our resident therapist providing a whole
range of therapeutic and holistic services to our clients! She is certainly
an asset to the business and we’re very proud to have her to work with
our clients to alleviate their everyday stresses and improve their general
well-being!

compete for Miss Vale of Glamorgan and at the
same time, raise awareness and vital funds for
Bobath in Wales.

for Miss Vale of Glamorgan 2015 and to promote
the charitable causes close to their own hearts!

Sarah Hughes our South Wales Echo client has lost a stone since starting her
training and diet with us! Sarah’s refreshing honesty, candour and humour in her
