Great to have my new Nutritionist on board. This fits in so well with personal training and body goals, the correct diet is key as I am continuing to realise!

Hayley will be working alongside us to help clients with detailed food and lifestyle analysis.

The greatest asset in any business isn’t the space or equipment. It’s the people.

As CEO, I’ve been intentional about building the right team of personal trainers at @angelgyms and therapists who are empathetic, collaborative and people first.

For me when team members such as our new nutritionist @haylesdoeshealth share the same values, clients feel supported, understood and cared for.

There are 2 rooms remaining at @angeltherapycentres so therapists who may be interested in working together DM us for more details.

As a dog dad to three, it feels just as important to document their journeys too. Over time they’ve become our gym and therapy centre dogs, helping clients at Angel Gyms and the Therapy Centre feel more at ease and at home.

I believe animals, especially dogs, belong in business environments. Not just for our clients, but for founders and entrepreneurs too. They bring that warmth, calm, and a sense of nature into spaces that can otherwise feel transactional.

My ethos as CEO and Founder when building Angel Gyms was to merge the old with the new.

I did this by introducing antiques into the spaces.

For example combining a lat machine with a 150 year-old painting ripped from an old rectory and lit with a restored empire chandelier with a tobacco velvet curtain on the side.

My vision here was to make my clients feel at home with a sense of warmth and nostalgia to put them at ease.

This was the furthest I could imagine getting away from the stark bright corporate vibe I’ve trained in in the past.

I can honestly say weight training has had the most transformative effect on my mental health.

Entrepreneurship is never easy and probably one of the most stressful careers anyone can have.

Having now been training for years consistently (with one of my own trainers, Jake) it has allowed me to feel more resilient and calm while keeping cortisol levels down and serotonin up.

There is real science behind this and there’s little doubt that entrepreneurs who train regularly with free weights excel quicker in business.

The irony here is that gyms can offer be stressful environments to be so this is where my Angel concept has come to life as I personally love training in a calmer, intimate environment, so no better place than my own gym!

2025 has been a year for me to be proud of.

Not because of numbers or growth chart but because of people.

It’s been incredible for me to watch clients lose weight, build muscle and gain strength. Clients who have as a result, come off anxiety medication and looked completely transformed.

I’ve seen women in the gym training confidently whilst heavily pregnant and men in their 50s and 60s rediscover energy and the body shape they thought they’d lost.

Looking forward to building on this in 2026. by @gabesaclain

Gyms can be incredibly beneficial for our mental health: the endorphins, the energy, feeling strong after a workout.

But they can also be some of the worst environments for it, because of how they look, sound, and make us feel anxious.

As an entrepreneur, I’m on a mission to change that.

Comment if you have suggestions and ideas on how to build them out further.

I chose Inchyra Blue by Farrow & Ball very deliberately.

Colour is never just colour. It shapes how we breathe in a space and how safe we feel.

Inchyra Blue from Farrow and Ball sits in that rare place between depth and warmth. It’s moody without being heavy, calming without being cold. There’s something nostalgic about it, almost familiar, like a room you already trust the moment you walk in.

I wanted both Angel Gyms and Angel Therapy Centre to feel calm. Not clinical. Not intimidating. Spaces where the nervous system can soften before the work even begins.

As the year turns, I’m reminded that healing isn’t loud, it’s slow, reflective, and intentional.

This season I’m reminded why Angel Gyms and Angel Therapy Centres exist: places for Londoners to become physically stronger, minds to become calmer and people learning to become their whole selves again.

Great design is subjective… right? Well, yes, but also, maybe not.

Most of us instinctively recognise when a space makes us feel calm, held, and at home. I’ve spent years stepping into wellness rooms that just didn’t offer that. Spaces that were cold, clinical, or too bland to really help the mind settle.

That’s exactly why I’m so proud and frankly relieved to have finally finished building and designing Angel Therapy Centres as CEO and Founder, together with my amazing team.

My vision was simple: to reimagine what a wellness room could feel like. To create environments where therapists and clients experience warmth, safety, and a sense of presence, rather than something sterile or soulless.

And now, as we go live this month December 2025 I’m excited to welcome new therapists into these spaces.
