health and fitness club Flourish offers sneak peak"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>\n  The tour around Flourish, based at the Grade II-listed Georgian building The White House, in Clifton, comes ahead of its opening on Monday, September 7.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Vanessa Warn, one of the founders of the club, said it aimed to offer facilities typically only available in London up north but at prices affordable to all.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  It comes after the company teased the club\u2019s opening on social media in August, after taking over the building in June.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  RECOMMENDED READING:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Facilities at the club include a gym, yoga studio, reformer pilates room, caf\u00e9 and children\u2019s creche.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A sauna room features an ice bath and shower, with charcoal binders offered to help with the loss of toxins.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\"\/>An Ultra Telsa seat in the health and wellbeing club Flourish, in Clifton, York (Image: LDRS)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A GP is set to be based in a doctor\u2019s room two days a week, with women\u2019s days offered once a week.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  An Ultra Telsa chair for men who have had prostate cancer or women who have pelvic flooring issues treating them with shockwaves is also available.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The club is set to offer memberships and people can also come on a one-off basis, with prices yet to be confirmed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\"\/>The reformer pilates room at the Flourish health and wellbeing club, in Clifton, York (Image: LDRS)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Sessions are set to be offered to both men and women and to people of all fitness levels.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Ms Warn said the club had already had around 200 sign ups, 1,200 followers online and a large amount of questions from people interested in visiting.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  She added\u00a0her and fellow club founders Claire Riddell and Stacey Dix set out to provide an offering that they had struggled to find outside the capital.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Ms Warn said: \u201cI\u2019ve been working with Claire for nine years, she was my personal trainer, and my sister Stacey joined us about six years ago.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\"\/>The gym in the Flourish health and wellbeing club, in Clifton, York (Image: LDRS)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWe used to take trips down to London together for health and wellbeing treatments and to facilities we couldn\u2019t find in York, so we said why don\u2019t we do something here?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWe looked at a couple of different places, I live in Bootham and we came to look around this building and it fit perfectly with what we wanted to do.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThis is a beautiful historic building that looks gorgeous.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWe\u2019ve got a physiotherapist who worked for the men\u2019s and women\u2019s England football teams.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cPeople have asked about our reformer facilities because they\u2019ve been referred by their GP.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWe have a caf\u00e9 that\u2019s going to be all about health, serving delicious food that\u2019s all locally sourced.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cOur offer won\u2019t be prohibitively expensive , our membership\u2019s an investment that we hope will save people money because they don\u2019t have to spend more on lots of different individual costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cI hope this will be a place where people feel welcome and see that it\u2019s affordable to all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The tour around Flourish, based at the
