The 32-year-old took on the site 18 months ago after the previous owner – who set up the business in 2016 – left.
Ms Philips, who lives in Thorpe End, is on a mission to build its membership to a 150-strong group.
She said: “When I took on the gym, we had to build it back up.

“The sale went through quite slowly but I have been gradually growing our membership. We have around 126 members and six coaches.
“I have always wanted to push our membership up to 150.”
CrossFit is a branded fitness programme incorporating a range of high-intensity exercises and strength training into workouts.
The gym is running birthday-themed workouts on Saturday, July 11 to celebrate its anniversary.
“We still have members who were here when the gym first opened,” Ms Phillips said.

“We usually have two workouts on Saturdays but this week they will be themed around the number 10,” she added.
The gym, which offers a variety of classes for both adults and children, offers free trials during the week.
Ms Phillips added: “The ages of our members range from five years old in our kids program to over 70 in the adults group.
“Our workouts can be personalised to the individual. There are roughly eight to 10 people in each class.”
The site is offering a discounted six-week membership for both children and adults during the summer school holiday.
