FITNESS is a way of life for many people with so many sports, activities and classes available to keep our energy levels up and our minds and bodies healthy.

With Zumba classes, HIIT sessions and kick boxing as well as yoga, pilates and spin on offer, fitness fanatics are spoilt for choice.

But which of St Helens’ top gyms provides the best service?

Where do you go for a workout?

St Helens Star:

Our search to find St Helens’ Best for Fitness 2022 – which was won by Ashley-James Ward at Award Fitness – had an overwhelming response so we have decided to launch a separate bid to find St Helens’ Best Gym.

In our Best of 2022 campaign, we’ve given out 15 awards so far in St Helens for hair, nails, beauty, children, fitness, pubs, beer gardens and independent shop as well as pies, fish and chips, breakfast, afternoon tea, roast dinner, pizza and burger.

The Secret Halo, Envy Nails and Beauty, Chantel Louise Beauty, Willowbees, Ashley -James Ward, Cinema Bar, The Boathouse and Antonia’s Cakes together with Burchall’s, Chipmunk Fingerpost, Toast, Sunflower Coffee Shop, Brothers Burgers and The Brown Edge Pub twice have all been crowned winners in their respective categories.

Voting is currently taking place to find the town’s best cafe with the closing date midnight on Monday, August 15.

Ashley-James Ward from Award Fitness took the Fitness Instructor of the Year Crown in May and now we need your help to find the town’s perfect place for a workout.
