The faces behind ST20 Gym
A lot of people know me… but not everyone knows the man behind the scenes.
ST20 started as a little garden studio with a big dream. We then moved into our first studio downstairs at The Mill… and now we’ve built what we always imagined would be the perfect open gym.
I’m the one with 100 ideas before breakfast 🤣. The one constantly saying, “I’ve had a thought…”
Phil is the man who somehow turns those thoughts into reality. Whether it’s building, fixing, painting, moving equipment, putting up with my last-minute changes or listening to me change my mind for the hundredth time… he’s the reason so many of those ideas actually happen.
Every corner of this gym has had hours of hard work, late nights, problem-solving and plenty of teamwork behind it.
We didn’t just want to open another gym. We wanted to create somewhere we’d genuinely love to train ourselves. A gym that’s calm, never overcrowded, where you’re not waiting for equipment, where everyone feels comfortable and where people actually enjoy coming to train.
Looking back at where we started to where we are now is pretty surreal. We still pinch ourselves sometimes.
Thank you to every single person who’s supported us from the garden studio days right through to now. Every membership, every recommendation and every bit of encouragement has helped us keep growing.
This might be our gym, but it’s your community… and we honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. 🖤💗
