ABOUT TRANSFORMER FITNESS

Hi my name is Sean Squibb, founder of Transformer Fitness. I opened the gym for the first time on 23rd November 2015 when I was just 20 years old. It started out at a reasonable size of just under 1300 square foot. I remember that there wasn’t really room to swing a cat in there!

I had it as packed full of equipment as I could and made great use of the space, and, do you know what, it worked. People quickly started coming and gave me some great feedback and lots of positive comments.

Eight months after I had opened, I was able to expand into the warehouse next to mine. This first expansion opened up many more possibilities for the gym. I added a functional turfed area, more cardio machines, and lots more strength equipment. My confidence as a gym owner grew significantly following the great support from the community that was forming during this opening year.

Following this, I went on to expand into a space that was double the size, and further improved the flourishing facility. We were going from strength to strength, and this could not have been possible without the backing of a fantastic and enthusiastic community of members.

In 2020, I completely uprooted the gym and moved into a much larger premises around the corner, just as the world shutdown due to the covid pandemic. It was a tough few years navigating through the lockdowns, but we came out the other side as a stronger force, and were excited to keep moving forwards and striving for more.

As of today, the gym currently stands at a massive 20,000 square foot, meaning that Transformer Fitness Gym has grown by 1500% in size and stature in just nine years. That is something that makes me incredibly proud when I think about where this dream began. I am excited to keep on progressing and striving to make this the best possible gym health and fitness facility that I can.

Of all the things that I have learnt over the past nine years, the key lesson that stands out is to enjoy the journey.

Thank you for reading.
