Green light for gym expansion plan to help kids stay fit and healthy

A personal trainer in the Kincaidston area of Ayr has received approval to expand his services and assist children in staying fit and healthy. Jamie Sanderson, from Jump Start Personal Training, identified a growing demand for children’s fitness and wellbeing in the community and decided to take action. He submitted a planning application to South Ayrshire Council to convert a former carpet showroom in Weir Road into a new gym facility.

Mr Sanderson expressed his excitement for the expansion, emphasizing the need for a larger space to accommodate the increasing demand for fitness services. The new gym will focus on modernising the interior without any structural changes. Operating a small personal training studio nearby, Mr Sanderson assured the council that noise disturbances would be minimal, as top-quality equipment would be used.

The proposed gym’s hours of operation are set from 7am to 8pm, aiming to cater to a wide range of individuals throughout the day. With a focus on community support, Mr Sanderson highlighted the positive impact the gym could have on promoting health and wellbeing in the area. The council approved the plan, recognizing it as a revitalisation of a vacant industrial unit that would benefit the local economy.

The new gym is expected to provide children with access to a variety of fitness equipment, enhancing their workout experiences and contributing to their overall wellbeing. By creating a larger base/studio space, Mr Sanderson aims to further support the community’s health and fitness goals. The gym’s approval signifies a positive step towards addressing the need for accessible fitness resources for children in the Kincaidston area.

In summary, the approval of Jamie Sanderson’s gym expansion plan showcases a proactive approach to meeting the demand for children’s fitness services in Ayr. By repurposing a vacant industrial unit into a modern gym facility, the community stands to benefit from enhanced health and wellbeing opportunities. Mr Sanderson’s commitment to supporting the community’s fitness goals reflects a positive impact on children’s physical and emotional development.
