The Foundry 1.0 will hold its soft launch from 4.30 pm today, Friday, October 30, at Unit 3 of The Bridge Shopping Centre in Latchford.

The team behind the new venture describes it as South Warrington’s first HYROX-affiliated gym, offering strength and performance training alongside semi-private group personal training sessions.

Tonight’s soft launch will give people the chance to look around the new space, meet the coaches and find out more about the different sessions on offer.

In a Facebook post announcing the opening, the team said: “The day has finally arrived!

“We’re opening the doors to The Foundry, South Warrington’s first HYROX-affiliated gym!”

Visitors will also be able to learn more about HYROX training and the gym’s small group personal training sessions.

The Foundry says the launch is open to people regardless of their previous fitness or strength training experience.

The team added: “No pressure, no experience needed – just come along, say hello and see what we’re all about.

“We’d love to see some new faces tonight and welcome you to The Foundry family!”

The new gym is also planning to introduce HYROX Youngsters sessions for children in Warrington.

According to the business, the sessions will be led by Jordan, who has experience working with children in schools, and will aim to give youngsters a way to get active, take on new challenges and build confidence.

The Foundry has been asking parents to have their say on the best times for the children’s sessions through an online poll.

The Foundry 1.0’s soft launch takes place from 4.30pm today at Unit 3, The Bridge Shopping Centre, Latchford, Warrington, WA4 1JR.

It will officially open on November 2.
