The Gym People
ABOUT US
With over 28 years’ experience in the fitness industry The Gym People team bring a wealth of knowledge to your project.
Guy Hollis is the Founding Director of The Gym People Ltd with 18 years in the sport and leisure industry.
As a sport obsessed child and teenager, Guy played U18 academy rugby for Bristol Bears before helping set up Old Cliftonians FC. His fitness journey started when, as an inactive 24 year old, he noticed a dramatic decrease in the enjoyment of his life. The struggle of that period inspired him to lose 2 stone, get fit and inspire others to do so.
Guy became a personal trainer in 2008 before building a team of personal trainers, setting up a members’ gym and branching out into management of other sites in the South West of England.
Nowadays Guy lives with his wife and two young children. He relaxes by reading and learning from inspiring people, getting out in the countryside and attempting to learn Italian.
Davina Bamber is the Business Development Manager at The Gym People, with over 20 years’ experience in business and customer experience.
She is passionate about customer service and believes in providing an excellent customer journey with nothing left to chance. She works closely with Guy to ensure that The Gym People continue to deliver a high level of service and that every client receives the attention to detail that they deserve.
