Inspira Athletica

"We don’t promise what we can’t deliver," says Chas Cook, who owns Inspira Athletica with Gillian Thomas. "It's all about setting attainable goals. We spend a lot of time listening to the client and finding out about their exercise regime, their injuries and their eating habits."

The next step is an action plan that could mean a single or several one-on-one sessions a week. The studio is fully equipped with sessions by appointment only. "Sessions are anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour depending on the fitness plan," says Chas.

Little extras are included in Inspira membership, like print-outs of a subject related to your personal plan or needs or an impromptu health-related gift to pat you on the back. "We're like family here," says Chas.
