Young entrepreneur Callum Eckersley has set his business up for an excellent start at the turn of a new decade.

Former personal trainer Callum was one of four like-minded people to set up 4FITT, in Newcastle, in 2014 after identifying a gap in the market for a community-based workout space.

Now, thanks to its increasing popularity, 4FITT has opened a second facility in Victoria Road, Fenton, and has spent more than 50,000 to extend and refurbish its Water Street headquarters which now boasts showers and changing rooms.

Callum said: We found a niche in the market and developed a service that offers fitness enthusiasts a middle ground between big circuit-style training and CrossFit.

Weve taken the best of both and adapted the offering to give people a community style place to train, where members support one another with achieving their goals.

We are known for our highly adaptable, high intensity and creative class set-ups.

We have a genuine desire to help our clients achieve their fitness ambitions and do so through our challenges, from fat loss to strength challenges.

They can totally immerse themselves within a style of training theyve never experienced before.

At 4FITT, customers can benefit from gym classes, challenges, personal training, diet plans, nutrition advice and body fat assessments.

The gym has a variety of equipment and rooms set up to meet the taste of individuals preferred training style something which has been integral to its success.

Now Callum who set up 4FITT when he was aged just 24 has entered The Sentinel Business Awards in the Young Business Person of the Year category, sponsored by Myclevergroup.

He added: All of our capital goes into the quality of equipment for our customers and things that impact on their enjoyment in the classes, rather than the cosmetics of the building.

Wed rather spend money on things that matter to clients when theyre training to create a much better experience for customers.
