Introductions
We are Jack and Molly, founders of The Thrive Studio. We have been tenants at New Russia Hall, Gatesheath, on the Bolesworth Estate for nearly a year, providing a private, high-quality fitness facility just outside Tattenhall.
Background
Jack began his career in the fitness industry at Carden Park, where he qualified as a Personal Trainer. He quickly established his first studio in Tattenhall, offering personalised 1-on-1 training. With growing demand and a fully booked schedule, we decided to expand. Together, we launched Thrive Studio in a larger space as part of the Bolesworth commercial portfolio.
Achievements
Since relocating to New Russia Hall, Thrive Studio has seen remarkable growth, with our business doubling in just 10 months. We have coached hundreds of members to incredible success, including significant weight loss results, with many clients shedding over 4 stone. To put that into perspective, that’s equivalent to the weight of more than 60 tins of baked beans! We are especially proud that some of our clients have been with us since we first opened nearly three years ago.
Community Involvement
As a fitness facility rooted in the local community, we are passionate about giving back. We regularly offer discounts and free memberships for charity events, and our weekly classes and gym memberships are accessible to everyone. Looking ahead, we’re excited to launch Thrive 24, a 24-hour fitness marathon featuring non-stop exercise sessions to raise funds for local charities. If anyone has suggestions for charities to support, we’d love to hear them!
Future Plans
Our vision is to continue growing Thrive Studio. Despite opening less than a year ago, we are already nearing full capacity. We aim to move to a larger unit to meet demand and offer an expanded range of services. Our specialty lies in sustainable, natural weight loss, and we aspire to be recognized as the leading weight loss specialists in the area.
Fun Facts
- We have a diverse client base, with members ranging in age from teenagers to those in their 80s.
- We have helped nearly 200 people through our fitness classes, gym memberships, and personal training services.
- During a recent 6-week course, every participant lost between 3-4kg within the first 5 weeks.

“Bolesworth has been an excellent landlord, always responsive and supportive of our needs. They’ve been open to our ideas and are committed to helping us grow. When the time comes, we’re confident that Bolesworth will assist us in relocating to a larger facility to accommodate our expanding membership base.” Jack & Molly
