Elevate Studios York

I didn’t build Elevate because York needed another gym.

I built it because I got fed up of seeing women feel like gyms weren’t for them.

Too intimidated.

Too overwhelmed.

Too scared of doing things wrong.

Or feeling like they had to “get fit first” before they walked through the door.

You don’t 💛

Elevate Studios was built to help women feel stronger, healthier and more confident — in a welcoming, supportive environment where you don’t need experience or confidence before you start.

Just show up.

I’ve got the rest 💪

✨ Holgate, York

💛 OPEN DAY — SATURDAY 30TH MAY
Come have a look around, ask questions and see what we’re all about 👀

What’s the thing that’s stopped you joining a gym before? 👇

If the thought of walking into a gym makes you want to immediately turn around and leave… you’re definitely not alone 😅

One thing I’ve realised while building Elevate Studios is that so many women think they need to already know what they’re doing before they start.

You don’t 💛

Every session at Elevate is fully coached, beginner-friendly and designed to help women feel stronger, fitter and more confident — without feeling overwhelmed or intimidated.

You won’t be left wondering what to do.

You won’t feel stupid asking questions.

And you definitely don’t need to “get fit first”.

Just show up — I’ve got the rest 💪

As a mum of two boys, I know firsthand how hard it can be to prioritise yourself when childcare is the thing stopping you.

And honestly? I think mums deserve better.

So one thing that was NON-negotiable when building Elevate Studios was creating a safe, welcoming space where kids are genuinely welcome 💛

Not tolerated.

WELCOME.

Whether they’re playing with toys, chilling in the soft area or just coming along while mum gets an hour for herself — I want women to feel like fitness is actually accessible.

Because you shouldn’t have to choose between looking after yourself and looking after your kids.

At Elevate Studios, kids are welcome at every class 🧸💪

York mums… would this help you get back into training? 👇

High protein BBQ pepperoni pizza that actually keeps you on track AND tastes unreal 🍕🔥

If you’re trying to lose fat but still crave a takeaway… this is your “fakeaway” bestie.

Dough:

100g 0% Greek yoghurt
80g plain flour
Pinch of salt

Mix it up, get it into a dough, then roll it out on a floured surface (TOP TIP: use baking paper because she’s sticky and will test your patience otherwise 😅)

Toppings:

40g light mozzarella
20g passata with herbs
7 slices pepperoni
20g BBQ sauce drizzle

Bake at 180°C for ~15 mins or until golden + crispy.

Macros for the whole pizza:
543 cals
30g protein
15.6g fat
75g carbs
3.8g fibre

Now listen..

This is NOT your greasy Domino’s after a night out.

But it is a banging alternative when you want pizza, want to stay on track, and don’t want to wake up feeling like a bin 🫠
Perfect for those “I cba to cook but I’m not sabotaging myself” evenings.

Disclaimer: I used gluten-free flour (coeliac life 🫡), but this will probs be even better with normal flour because let’s be honest.. gluten-free can be giving cardboard vibes.

Save this for your next fakeaway night 🍕✨

Half of women will suffer a fracture in their lifetime.

Not a sprained ankle.
Not a “bit sore for a few days”

We’re talking proper, life-altering fractures.. hips, spine, wrists.

And here’s the bit no one tells you 👇

Those injuries don’t just “heal and move on” as you get older.

They can massively impact your independence, your mobility.. even your lifespan.

But yeah - sure - keep worrying about “getting bulky” 🙃

Because while you’re avoiding the weights section..
your bone density is slowly declining in the background.

As women, we naturally lose bone density with age - especially around menopause.

So if you’re not actively doing something to build it?
You’re making yourself more fragile over time.

And no - your steps, your spin class, your little 2kg dumbbells…
they’re not enough to properly stimulate bone growth.

You need progressive strength training.
You need load.
You need to actually challenge your body.

This isn’t just about fat loss.
It’s not just about aesthetics.

It’s about building a body that actually holds up for life.

Strong is not just a vibe.
It’s protection.

So yeah… lifting weights?

Not optional.
