Fitness expert vows to help people stay in shape after launching new gym in South Shields

Adam, 30, has set up The Body Transformation Zone, where he aims to support people to build muscle, tone up and get super-fit.

The qualified personal trainer has established his venture within a unit at the Boldon Lane Car Sales site, just off the John Reid Road in South Shields.

From there, Adam, who has been involved in sports coaching and training since leaving school, will work with small client groups for maximum effect.

He believes key to the success of his strength and conditioning sessions is his ability to inspire people through the personal touch.

Adam, who lives in South Shields, said: “It’s important that clients learn to be accountable for how they live their lives, and I can help them do that.

“They need a time and place to train and someone who will guide them in how to train and what to eat to get the best results.

“People who go to a standard gym often don’t work out hard enough or do not know how to work out properly, they muddle along.

“Having someone like me to answer to, who will push them and give them a solid fitness foundation, can make a huge difference.”

He added: “Most people who go to a gym are aiming for fat loss, to have more energy and to be more confident.

“These are all things that I can help them achieve through my small-sized groups but very personal support.

“All are welcome, but I do prefer to work with people who have experience of gyms and of working out and just need that extra bit of expert help.”

Adam is a Level 3 qualified personal fitness trainer but has earned invaluable experience by working alongside his older brother Grant Henson, a respected borough fitness instructor.

The Body Transformation Zone boasts specialist weights equipment and has space for hi-intensity (HITT) sessions.

Now going it alone, Adam has been supported in his push for solo business success by his girlfriend Taylor Broughton, 25.
