❤️ **20 YEARS… AND WHAT A NIGHT!** ❤️
I honestly don’t know where to start…
A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came along to celebrate our 20th Anniversary at The View Hotel last night. To look around the room and see so many familiar faces, friends, members, clients, colleagues and people who have been part of the APT journey was incredibly special.
Receiving so many cards, gifts and kind words was genuinely overwhelming. There really are no words that can properly express what it meant to me.
The last 20 years — and my 26 years working in the Health, Fitness & Wellbeing industry — simply wouldn’t have been possible without your belief, your trust and your support.
I feel incredibly proud… but equally humbled.
When you build something that means so much to you, it can sometimes be difficult to step back and appreciate just how many people have played a part in its journey. Last night gave me the opportunity to do exactly that.
I’ve seen the word “community” used and banded around quite a lot lately, and I think it means something slightly different to all of us.
But if you were at The View Hotel last night, I think you would have seen something that starts to give a real example of what community can mean.
People from different walks of life, different ages, different backgrounds and with different stories… all coming together, supporting one another, laughing, talking, dancing and celebrating something that we have all been part of in some way.
And that, for me, is what APT has always been about.
People. ❤️
It’s never just been about exercise, classes or workouts. It’s about the people who walk through our doors, the relationships we build, the confidence we help create, the support we give each other and the feeling that you belong.
I also want to say a massive THANK YOU to Tom Fitzpatrick for entertaining us with two hours of fantastic live music. You were brilliant and helped make the evening even more memorable! 🎶
And to all of those who couldn’t make it last night but sent their kind messages and warm wishes — thank you too. It really does mean so much to know that you were thinking of us and celebrating with us from afar.
I sincerely hope everyone who came along enjoyed the evening as much as I did.
Last night was a reminder of just how lucky and grateful I am.
20 years of APT.
26 years in the industry.
And so many incredible people along the way.
From the bottom of my heart…
THANK YOU. ❤️
Here’s to the memories we’ve already made, the people who have helped shape our journey, and most importantly…..
the next chapter!
