\n Four* Physio and Gym is set to move into the disused former Carter’s Domestic Appliances building in Southwick Square, which the electrical retailor vacated in May 2024.\n<\/p>\n
\n The company is a new clinically-led physiotherapy clinic and exercise space, which offers physiotherapy assessment and treatment, and supervised strength programmes.\n<\/p>\n
\n It will also offer over 50s, pay-as-you-go gym sessions, catering to those who feel less comfortable in commercial gyms.\n<\/p>\n
\n These sessions will be open to all ability levels and will be limited to a maximum of ten people.\n<\/p>\n
\n One of Four*’s main focuses is on improving muscle mass as people age.\n<\/p>\n
\n Co-founder Marcus Wolf said: “Strength training is one of the most evidence-backed tools we have.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It\u2019s not about becoming a gym person \u2014 it\u2019s about staying capable, independent, and doing the things that matter to you.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The unit has been vacant since Carter’s moved out after more than 30 years in the premises.\n<\/p>\n
\n The electrical appliance retailor, which had opened in Southwick in 1994, blamed spiralling rent prices and parking charge increases for the reasons behind the closure.\n<\/p>\n
\n At the time it was the fourth shop to close in Southwick Square in six months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four* Physio and Gym is set to move into the disused former Carter’s Domestic Appliances building in Southwick…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[565,134,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-219536","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-fitness","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
