That win took the gym through to the national awards in November, when PT Corner business partners David Della Cioppa and Callum Sully picked up the second place award.

“It feels very special and very privileged to have been recognised like this on a national level but thank you to everyone who voted for us.”
This is the eighth year the awards have been running and this year’s national awards, which were held in Birmingham, saw 560 businesses competing for just 35 awards.
David said: “That's a huge competition we were up against which makes our win even more unbelievable.

The duo outgrew their first premises on Staden Lane and have been at the gym’s current home since February 2021.
David said: “Our motto has always been to make training affordable for people and as the cost of living crisis is still gripping the country’s economy it is more important than ever that we continue this.
