An urban gym and fitness space has introduced its unique approach to health and wellbeing to Hull's growing Fruit Market community.
The Temple @ Humber Street is the latest venture to join the resurgent waterfront quarter, bringing state-of-the-art equipment, innovative health and wellbeing treatments, and high intensity workouts to the area's fitness fans.
Owners Dale Robinson (pictured right) - who founded sister gym, The Temple, at Hesslewood Country Office Park near the Humber Bridge, Riccardo Seaton (centre) and Wayne Audsley (left) see The Temple as a lifestyle space where people can focus on achieving the right level of work-life balance.
The stylish two-storey space features a health food cafe serving pre and post-workout meals, a retail area stocking Temple-branded fitness and leisure wear, and a sports and physiotherapy treatment room.
Treatments on offer include a range of intravenous (IV) drips and booster therapies designed to maximise health, performance recovery and wellness, with vitamins and nutrients delivered directly into the bloodstream by qualified professionals.
Also available is a selection of Cryotherapy treatments which involve the body being briefly exposed to very cold temperatures to promote health and wellness as well as weight-loss, healing, and beauty benefits.
The first-floor gym space has resistance and cardio machines, boxing bags, suspension bands, a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)-style sled/plough resistance track down one side of the studio, weights, and 'battle ropes' that work core muscles. Classes include yoga, pilates, boxing, dance, HIIT and condition circuits.
Robinson said, 'As well as having the equipment and training programmes of a traditional gym, we're heavily focused on people's wellbeing and helping them achieve the right work-life balance, which will not only train your body, but also train your brain.
'We all know exercise helps improve mental health, so we want to work with neighbouring businesses to achieve workplace wellness through our classes and programmes.'
Seaton said, ''The Fruit Market is such a vibrant area with a good mix of residents and workers, so we understand people might have a workout then go on to have a few drinks in some of the buzzing places on Humber Street.
'That's why we're introducing some amazing wellness treatments, such as IV vitamin shots, as well as a range of balanced 'grab-and-go' meals to support our members' hectic lifestyles in realistic and achievable ways.'
The Temple is the latest new business to open in the Fruit Market, which has been reinvented as Hull's first urban village, featuring independent, creative businesses, restaurants, bars, galleries and shops.
