Club Zest ladies’ leisure, which like all gyms has been closed for the majority of the pandemic, will now reopen thanks to the hard work of its owners and support from the local council.
The award-winning gym is operated by owners Holly McBride Donaldson and Jennie Moyse and supports hundreds of local women in achieving and maintaining physical and mental wellbeing.
Holly said: “for over 20 years club zest has been helping women from across the Sunderland and North East area become fitter, healthier and more confident.
“Covid-19 has provided challenges we never could have imagined, and it’s been tough. We’ve had to adapt to the current climate and have been providing a range of online options for our clients including classes and personal training, as well as out-door training when restrictions have allowed us to.
“Sunderland city council have been incredibly supportive and that, coupled with our determination to keep our clients supported, has allowed us to overcome hurdles we never thought we would experience.
“We’ve really missed seeing our clients and are so excited to be open again. Due to guidelines, we will be running gym-only and 1 to 1 sessions for now, but are looking forward to introducing our group sessions and range of classes as soon as possible.”
