Abi, Cristina and Nicole
‘A wonderful team. Friendly, supportive and knowledgeable.’ – Samantha Guiher
‘We offer one-to-one personal training, group exercise classes, massage therapy and Reformer and Mat Pilates sessions – and all in a safe, comfortable environment with excellent facilities,’ says Abi Ade, owner of Abi’s Fitness Club in Fulham. ‘However, in the competitive fitness sector, you have to do more: that’s why we focus strongly on the “extra” elements that make such a difference to the overall experience.
‘First and foremost, I want everyone to feel completely at ease in the Studio. When a client comes in, they are always welcomed with a big smile and we engage with them. Also, we realise that a gym can be an intimidating place, particularly for first-timers or older returners. We treat people as individuals – there’s no “conveyor-belt” approach – and create a community atmosphere that builds confidence.’
Having studied Sports Science at college and then graduated from university with a degree in Sports Development, Abi entered the industry on the ground floor. ‘It was work experience at a gym,’ he recalls. ‘I learned so much from the trainers – how to structure sessions, how to motivate clients – and also about how to manage a successful fitness business.’
After taking professional Fitness and Training qualifications, Abi launched his Wandsworth Studio in 2019 and the Fulham operation (just off Dawes Road) seven months ago. ‘We cater for all ages and fitness levels,’ he explains. ‘At the initial meeting with every new personal training client we talk through their objectives, such as improved strength, mobility or flexibility, and any injury history. Then we devise a bespoke plan that is tailored to those needs.
‘We have a wide range of packages across all disciplines. My favourites are Couples Personal Training and Pre-and Post Pregnancy training. Group classes include HIIT, Circuits and Kettlebells and all our trainers, Pilates instructors and massage therapists are specialists.’
The Studio is open 6.30am-9pm (Mon-Fri and 8am-1pm (Sat and Sun). ‘Do come for a free consultation and taster session,’ says Abi. ‘You can meet the team and we can discuss how to work together to achieve your aims.’
