Independent Gyms has strengthened its team with the appointment of Jemma Wright

Jemma will focus on supporting independent gym owners, suppliers, and brand partners across the North of England.

The appointment supports the continued growth of the Independent Gyms platform, which works with independent fitness facilities across the UK through events, partnerships and its member community.

In her new role, Jemma will work closely with gym operators and partners to build stronger relationships across the Independent Gyms network.

“I’m really excited to be joining Independent Gyms at such an important stage of its growth,” she explains. “I’ve seen first-hand the impact the community has on gym owners, and I’m looking forward to building on that by supporting members in the North and helping create even stronger connections across the network.”

Her remit includes growing the organisation’s brand partner community, improving member engagement and helping independent operators access more value through the platform.

The role will also support Independent Gyms’ wider focus on connecting fitness businesses with relevant suppliers, sector insight and peer-to-peer support.

Jemma joins Independent Gyms following previous roles with Myzone and CoverMe.

“Jemma is a fantastic addition to the team,” says Rob Handy, founder of Independent Gyms. “She understands the independent market, shares our belief in the power of community.”
