Emily Gazey-Mitchell has developed Ylime Fitness in a bid to encourage those not so keen on exercise, or those who have fallen out of a routine, back into an active lifestyle.
This includes members of the older population, through links set-up with Alliance Homes and Age UK, as well as expectant mums through a range of pre and post-natal exercise classes.
The 25-year-old of Mayflower Gardens has also joined up with schools in North Somerset to put on boot camp-style sessions for youngsters who need to improve their fitness and has already held a successful programme at High Down Junior School in Portishead.
Emily, who has been dancing since she was four and teaching dance since she was 15, is also a qualified personal trainer, fitness instructor, sports therapist and rehabilitator.
