New 2000sg ft gym, The Zone launches in Wavertree

The Zone, a 2000 sqft facility, has opened in Wavertree with 23-year-old Lauren Caffrey fulfilling her childhood dream

The Zone has opened at Unit 10, Mill Lane Trade Park in Wavertree during the UK’s first phase of reopening.

Owner Lauren Caffrey, 23, who dreamed of opening her own flagship gym at just 14 years old, has successfully fulfilled her childhood dream and opened the doors of her New York City inspired 2000 sqft gym.

Lauren has brought The Zone to life having been inspired by trips to the big apple, and has completely designed the interior of the gym herself.

Decked out in impressive LED and strobe lighting which sets the tone for the cool and prestigious gym that provides its clients with only the best equipment and facilities including an entire floor of state-of-the-art machines, a branded track area for prowler runs and neon lighting.

The impressive interiors run through the entire unit, with a tranquil yoga studio named The Zen and a high energy bootcamp room for The Zone Nation classes of 15 people. Both yoga and The Zone Nation classes will run from Monday 17th May in line with government guidelines.

In the meantime, The Zone is open to drop in day gym passes and personal training sessions with Lauren welcoming 10 new personal trainers – both male and female – to her facility. New members are welcome to visit from 12th April to view the gym and sign up at the unit or online via https://thezonepersonaltraining.co.uk.

Having worked incredibly hard during all three of the UK’s lockdowns, and switching her in person training to online, Lauren has successfully continued to grow her business and trebling her clientele. She’s used all of her profits to open her flagship gym after securing the venue on Christmas Eve 2020.

Creating a community that anyone can be part of, she is keen to bring together every aspect of lifestyle, health and wellbeing under one roof that will offer an uplifting, infectious atmosphere with a true feel-good factor.

The facility also offers physio sessions, botox treatments and up-and-coming gym wear brand Sporty Lula which is available to purchase at The Zone.

Lauren, from West Derby, said: “It’s been a rollercoaster since January as we’ve completely transformed Unit 10 to bring my vision to reality. I enlisted the help of Calvey Restoration who have been working on the site since the beginning of January and together we’ve built a second floor, a dedicated bootcamp room, a separate yoga studio and shower facilities and I couldn’t be happier and more proud of the results.

“Opening The Zone has been an incredible experience; extremely tough and stressful at times but absolutely worth it and I’m so excited to welcome our first clients this week before we can open up our classes on 17th May.

“Everyone is welcome at The Zone and if you’re a personal training client, we’ll work with you on a tailored plan that is guaranteed to give you the results you want. If you’re taking part in a yoga or bootcamp class, you choose how far you push yourself. We’re there to support you every step of the way and understand that everyone is different. Whether you’re a beginning, fairly comfortable with the gym or more advanced, The Zone will support and guide you to achieve sustainable, long-lasting results.”
