TNT Fitness in Cowan Bridge, near Ingleton, celebrates it’s first birthday on Saturday (April 22) and will be holding an open morning, from 10am to 1pm, for anyone who wants to see the facilities and meet the team.

The gym has experienced an impressive first year, being shortlisted for ‘Newcomer of the Year’ at the National Fitness Awards and is now approaching 300 members.

Owner Tomi Tatham said: “It’s been whirlwind 12 months and far exceeded my expectations. At times it’s been challenging as a new business owner, but the response from the local community has been overwhelming.

"We are continually adding new equipment and classes based on the feedback we get from members and have just opened a barber shop inside the gym! This is alongside the physiotherapy, osteopathy and sports massage services we already have available.

"At the end of May we have our second TNT Strongman competition, which had a fantastic turnout in 2022 and then in July we are launching a new competition called The Fittest. There are lots of ideas in the pipeline too and we’d love for new and existing members to pop in on Saturday. For anyone interesting in joining on the day we’re offering no sign up fee and free training plans from starters to advanced.”
