Chester gym to triple in size after plane are approved by council

An award-winning Cheshire gym has been granted planning permission to move to new premises to allow it to triple in size. 

Aptitude Health & Fitness in Farndon launched in the middle of the Covid pandemic at Monument Place Business Park, which is owned by the Barnston Estate.

Founder Gareth Preston has now been given planning permission by Cheshire West and Chester Council which will enable Aptitude to move into a 16,000 sq ft building adjacent to his current gym.

Gareth, a former athlete from Huntington in Chester, has ambitious plans to grow his successful business and to offer a wide variety of new services and facilities as well as a much bigger space to his members.

Gareth said: “I’m incredibly proud of what we have achieved with the business over the past four years since we opened in December 2020, and excited that we will be able to give members an even better offer with Aptitude 2.0.

“It taught us so much about the power of community and how people wanted to help and support our business, to get fit, to do classes, to enjoy spending time with others once again.
