Lisa Jarratt, of Downham Ladies Fitness in Downham, didn’t start with a big facility, a huge budget, or even a long-term plan. What she had was £6k, a love for fitness, and a background in marketing.
Fast-forward to today, and she runs a thriving small-group gym on her high street with over 100 members, a strong community, and a business that only needs 10–15 hours a week to keep growing.
In this episode, Lisa shares:
- How she turned a £6k back-garden build into a 100+ member gym.
- Why her marketing background shaped how she grew the business.
- The systems and mindset shifts that let her run things in 10–15 hours a week.
- What she wishes more gym owners understood about community and growth.
