Small Blackburn gym in \u201creal shock\u201d by repeat Best Gym nomination<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n Jade said: \u201cI\u2019ve always been deeply passionate about fitness \u2014 but just as passionate about supporting other women. As a 36-year-old mum of three, I truly understand how hard it can be to make time for ourselves.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cLife is busy, demanding, and often exhausting. But I\u2019ve always believed that fitness is about so much more than physical strength \u2014 it\u2019s about our headspace, our confidence, and our ability to cope with daily life.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n Before opening Team Jade, Jade worked as a higher-level teaching assistant at Coates Lane Primary School in Barnoldswick.\n<\/p>\n
\n After having her third baby in 2022, she decided it was time for a new direction.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIn January 2023, I took the leap and opened Team Jade,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWhat started with just one, two, or three members has grown into a beautiful community of 50-plus incredible women by January this year.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n As a one-woman business, Jade offers a wide range of sessions including HIIT, strength training and personal training, while also involving members in fitness events and group outings.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: \u201cI am a one-woman business offering as much variety to my ladies. HIIT sessions, strength sessions, personal training sessions, and we attend HIIT events as I present for the fitness company, so I try and involve the girls in as many team outings and sessions as possible.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Jade added that the sense of community is what sets Team Jade apart.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cTeam Jade isn\u2019t just a fitness group,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s a community you can rely on. A safe space to feel supported, encouraged, and empowered. A place where real women build real strength \u2014 inside and out.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
