Our Story
Our outstanding record of success is evidenced by the fact that our Director of Training, Christine North-Minchella, has been recognised as a leading innovator in the industry. She has been actively involved in fitness and exercise since her teens and made her passion into her career. This started with the YMCA over 30 years ago when she joined them as a trainee tutor.
She then embarked on gaining the appropriate qualifications culminating in a BSc in Exercise and Health Studies at Leeds Metropolitan University. In 2002 she received the Lesley Mowbray Award from YMCA Fitness Industry Training and in 2005 was awarded The Exceptional Achievement Award for Contribution to the Development of Health & Fitness Industry, awarded by Skills Active and REPs.
She was further awarded Centre of Excellence Status and continues to teach and run courses to pass on her passion and knowledge as well as heading up the business.
