11 years in business! We can’t believe it.
This month we are celebrating our 11th year in business since opening our first location in South Liverpool in 2013.
ABS was founded by Connor O’Brien, who started training clients at the age of 17 in his parent’s back garden shed in Hale Village.
Moving out of the shed was Connor’s first big step in growing the company. In 2013 the first Liverpool gym opened in Speke and since then the company has grown into a premium gym brand with two Liverpool locations and facilities in London, Manchester and Leeds.
Despite closure during the Covid pandemic, we came out fighting by completely transforming a unit on Castle Street, once home to the ‘Civvy’ pub, into a premium city centre gym space that is now our flagship facility.
Over the past 11 years we have had the pleasure of seeing hundred of clients from across Liverpool achieve life-changing results. In fact, clients across ABS have lost a combined 15,000kg in total. We couldn’t believe it when we calculated it!
Many of these inspirational client stories have been shared by the local and national press, including most recently, Kelly Anderson, who lost a staggering 104lbs after training with ABS in Speke.
Not only did Kelly lose weight, she also transformed her health by reversing her diabetes thanks to weekly training sessions and by following a bespoke nutrition plan designed by the gym.
Other client stories covered the press include the story of Liverpool mum and daughter training duo, Gemma and Sue, who trained with us a couple of years ago.
Sue, lost several stone in weight and, like Kelly, managed to put her diabetes into remission. Speaking at the time about her results, Sue said, ‘It sounds dramatic, but it has completely changed my life.’
Her daughter and training partner Gemma had tried all kinds of diets over several years but had gotten nowhere with her results.
After seeing the results her mum achieved, Gemma used that as inspiration to make a change. She went on to make headlines around Liverpool and the UK by losing a life-altering 100lbs, dropping several dress sizes and completely transforming her fitness.
Speaking about the companies birthday, founder Connor said, “It is amazing to be celebrating our 11th year in business. The business has grown beyond my expectation and it is great to see the life-changing results we are still delivering for clients year on year.”
“11 years ago we opened in Liverpool and the support we’ve enjoyed ever since has been overwhelming. We’re so proud that clients choose to train with us and trust us with something as important as their health and fitness.”
“We look forward to the next decade of growth in Liverpool and beyond and take this moment to thank everyone who has helped us to get where we are today.”
