Alex/Ally
DIRECTOR & BUSINESS MANAGER
Ally has always had a passion for health and fitness - appreciating the benefits of prioritising the time for yourself and mental health.
Chris and Ally met during 2023, and had huge goals, plans and endless ideas of what they could turn S7 into in the future!
You'll see them often training together in any spare time they can find, resetting and cleaning the gym to make it the best it can be for their members.... or chasing around after their children. They love competing in HYROX races, and hope to compete again one day soon.
The gym for them is more than a business - its somewhere that people of all ages and fitness levels, can come together to better themselves both physically and mentally. S7 is a gym that isnt full of mirrors or people walking around taking selfies, instead, it is full of motivation, friendships and most of all, a sense of community.
