Melissa and Billy own Willingham Gym

Their story is maybe not your usual gym owners story, and maybe that’s what makes our club different.   

Melissa, who runs the club from day to day, doesn’t come from a fitnesss background.  Like many her passion grew as she got older.  Originally she found that committing to fitness was difficult and often had a love hate relationship with it in her younger days.

Billy, on the other hand, has always been into fitness especially boxing, and in his early 20s was cage fighting.

After her second child, things changed.  Melissa got more into her fitness and also started a new lifestyle journey with Herbalife.  She found herself a PT and started training with him once a week. This is what led to where she is now, as it through her PT she found the club was for sale, and what an opportunity to do something great for the community

Since taking over, they have invested heavily in changing the club for the better, new equipment, new services and a new atmosphere

This really is a passion project for Mel and Billy and unlike your large commercial clubs is there to service the surrounding community
