Angel Gyms

Our original Founder’s Story Video was a great way to show how we all came together after finding corporate gyms so stressful, loud and chaotic! Cheesy? Yes! 😅 But it was great fun to make and looking forward to producing our next version soon. We are determined to build on our success by opening new sites in North and West London, both with in-house psychotherapists, then expand into other British cities.

Eden has been with us for three months, and we’re incredibly proud of how far she’s come. She opened up about her struggles with gym anxiety, and we’re so grateful she shared her story with us, let us grab a camera and share it with our followers! She’s achieved her primary goal: Feel Confident in a Gym.

A bold choice for the soundtrack of our latest ad? A jazzy, underground speakeasy track. It captures the private, intimate vibe complete with mid-century antiques. That said, my love for 1980s music still reigns supreme in both Angel locations.

Our fabulous in-house nutritional therapist Lucia explains the importance of a healthy diet for physical and mental health as well as all body goals. Book in with Lucia directly at https://lnkd.in/dGBuz99C

More and more studies are proving the growing list of diseases and illnesses that can be prevented or cured through weight training 🏋️. This includes a whole range of cancers, cognitive decline and more. We made this video to list those diseases. Here is an a Washington post article. There are many more! https://lnkd.in/ektG7Dxv

With so many Londoners with anxiety challenges, do we really want harsh, cold, bright gyms? We beg to differ! We designed our gym spaces to be inviting, intimate SafeSpaces. Design matters, and lighting transforms how our clients feel and connect.

💪🏽Muscle is Medicine 💊 The science is now clear: people who gain muscle are far less likely to be diagnosed with cancers, diabetes, heart problems, age related diseases, the list is endless.

Fascinatingly our current social media advert has attracted females in particular. In this more stylistic reel we focussed on the space itself, the peaceful vibe and introduced candle lighting to bring a sense of calm, along with music from the forest. Importantly we highlighted how our high end steel gym equipment is formidable for weight training but the surrounding use of plants, wooden floors helped to further soften those hard edges. And who doesn’t feel warm nostalgia with a grandfather clock?

Survey published yesterday revealed that 53% of men often contemplate their physical fitness compared to a smaller 43% who contemplate their mental wellbeing. This gap is a reminder that we have more work to do connecting the dots between mental and physical health and how the two really do go hand in hand. Staying physically fit is important, but it shouldn’t mean pushing mental well-being to the side. Both matter. Let’s keep bringing mental health into the conversation and make sure it gets the attention it deserves. https://lnkd.in/ekVwi3hJ

Great to see Steven Bartlett has invested in UNTIL a London start up in the same space as ours. And hugely exciting to see independent businesses now expanding with a focus on wellness. Our core offering will remain 1:1 personal training, more specifically weight training alongside psychotherapy in an calm environment inspired by the 1940s: the very antithesis of the industrial, loud, bright and intimidating vibes found in corporate gyms.
