“We know most of those who come in and we are here to give any advice they need at any stage.
“There weren’t many gyms around when we set up 29 years. We built it up from a very small basic gym and improved it to get it to what it is now.”
New Era Fitness, on Kirk Lane, Yeadon, won second place in the contest, while Leeds Premier Fitness Centre on Selby Road, came third.
