Lewisham woman quits marketing career and spends life savings on making new gym
"I had 10,000 in savings: [that's] wiped out completely, gone. That was my only buffer. I have no family that I can go stay with. It's just me."
"If you're someone that's not very good at sticking to their goals, being part of a fitness community is the best way for you to stay motivated and committed to your goals."
"The thing with Deptford is, we know it's up and coming. But I live here. It's my local community. I love the fact I built this here, on my doorstep."
"If the gym is a success, I hope to also eventually open a coffee shop in the arch on Resolution Way."
Kim Mansell dedicated herself to establishing Apres London, a training studio in Deptford, after extensive planning and personal training experience. By working 16-hour days while maintaining a standard job, she saved enough to make a life-changing decision to leave her job and pursue her dream. There’s a strong community focus with smaller class sizes for enhanced support. Despite the financial risks, including depleting her savings, Mansell's ambition reflects her commitment to fostering a local fitness community, with future plans for growth, including a coffee shop if successful.
