Tenant Spotlight | Thrive Studio
From a growing fitness studio to a thriving wellness destination
When Thrive Studio first came to Bolesworth, they were looking for a premises that could support their next stage of growth. Today, they’ve moved into a larger space at Chowley Oak Business Park, giving the team room to expand their offering and develop their vision for the future. Founded as a fitness facility at Bolesworth, Thrive has continued to grow its community and offering since first moving to the Estate.
“We first picked Bolesworth as they had a premises best suited for our original business growth,” the Thrive team explains. “We’ve now expanded into a larger premises in a key location for surrounding villages such as Tattenhall, Malpas and Chester.”
A space designed around their needs
The move into their new premises has given Thrive the additional space and facilities they needed, including air conditioning and showers, alongside a larger footprint and a location that works well for their growing membership. The team describes the transition as a smooth process, with Bolesworth taking the time to understand exactly what they needed from their next space.
“Bolesworth knew exactly what we needed. They showed us a premises knowing what we needed – the showers and air conditioning. It’s the bigger size and a better location.”
For Thrive, the Estate’s location is particularly important. Their community brings together members from across the surrounding area and a wide range of ages, from 16-year-olds through to members in their 80s. “For me, my favourite thing about Thrive is the community we have and the range of members we have.”
Bringing reformer Pilates into the gym
One of the features that sets Thrive apart is its combination of traditional gym facilities with reformer Pilates.
“We offer reformer Pilates in a gym facility. We’re one of the only gyms in the area to do this.”
The new space allows members to combine different aspects of their fitness routine under one roof. Members can take part in a reformer session before staying on for a gym workout or another class, creating a more flexible approach to fitness and wellbeing.
With the additional space, Thrive is now able to broaden its programme further, with plans for more specialised classes including parent and baby reformer sessions, alongside small-group personal training.
Building a wellness hub
The team’s ambitions extend beyond fitness.
Thrive is looking to develop the studio into a wider wellness destination, with plans for a dedicated Wellness Hub bringing complementary services together under one roof. This is set to include sports massage, physiotherapy and beauty treatments, creating a space where members can access a broader range of health, fitness and wellbeing services.
Growing with Bolesworth
For Thrive, being part of Bolesworth has provided more than simply a place to operate.
“One thing people might not realise about Bolesworth is that they have lots of different facilities on the Estate and they’ve really helped us to grow over the years.” With opportunities to expand and adapt as their business develops, Thrive sees the Estate as a location where they can continue to grow. “We love that there’s potential to expand within that as well.”
Thrive Studio’s move to its larger premises at Chowley Oak Business Park is another example of how the right commercial space can support a business through its next stage of development. At Bolesworth, we take the time to understand what your business needs – whether that’s additional space, the right location or a premises that can adapt as your business grows.
