Pair get their fitness venture up and running
0 Comments | Citizen Gloucestershire, The, Jul 27, 2010
NEIL Jones and Katie Brighton are hoping to put the fun into fitness with their new Cheltenham business. The pair have launched Fitness Troop, which provides bootcamp-style exercise sessions at the town’s Pittville Park and residential weekends in the Forest of Dean and other locations.
Both personal and professional partners, they have many years’ experience in health and fitness.
Neil, 34, was a former member of the Gloucestershire Regiment serving in Bosnia, Cyprus and Northern Ireland before training in strategic weapons systems on the Royal Navy’s Vanguard class submarines for seven years.
He then returned to his home town of Cheltenham to retrain as a personal trainer. Katie, 31, became a personal trainer some years ago after a career training racehorses, working as a skiing guide in the Alps and for an activity company in the south of France.
She said: “Coming together to form Fitness Troop enabled us to combine our strengths and knowledge, creating a concept that really works.
“We both enjoy training people outdoors and believe real encouragement helps people to motivate themselves.”
