Meet the Business – Shredquarters
In our latest “Meet the Business” feature, we had the pleasure of chatting with Laura Jilow from The Shredquarters Walton. Laura shared insights about living and working in Walton, the uniqueness of her gym, and the vibrant community that surrounds it.
Laura’s motivation to start The Shredquarters Walton stemmed from a desire to fill a gap in the local fitness market.
“We recognised that Walton didn’t have a gym like ours offering group-based class training. The goal was to create a gym where community and member support are central. Walton, with its welcoming atmosphere, proved to be the perfect location.”
Well, that goal has been achieved!
Shredquarters has fostered a remarkable community where members not only work out together but also socialise and compete in fitness events. The local business community support one another too.
Laura tells us that when she has a moment to spare, she enjoys nothing more than participating in a gym class at The Shredquarters, followed by a relaxing brunch at one of the local coffee shops. Her favorite spots include Surrey Coffee Co for their delicious Bennys Bagels and Esquires, which she appreciates for its welcoming atmosphere and accommodation of her newborn baby.
For those new to Walton, Laura recommends a visit to the Farmers Market. This local gem is perfect for supporting small businesses and offers a delightful array of fresh produce and handmade goods. The market takes place on the first Saturday of the month. Be sure to visit our What’s On page to stay up to date with markets and other events taking place.
Standing Out from the Crowd
What sets The Shredquarters apart is their offering of group-based training seven days a week, in a space where no one is lost. The gym is designed to welcome individuals at any point in their fitness journey, providing guidance and support to help them achieve their goals.
The variety of classes is unmatched, with no two classes being the same since their inception.
The guiding mantra of The Shredquarters Walton is simple yet profound: “No one is lost.” This mantra underscores their commitment to inclusivity and support, ensuring everyone finds their place and achieves their fitness goals.
At the core of The Shredquarters’ success are its expert trainers. Laura emphasises that they bring “the energy, the music, and the killer workouts.” These trainers are indispensable, creating an environment that motivates and inspires members.
Proud Moments
Reflecting on their achievements, Laura is proud of the positive impact The Shredquarters has had on its members. “We are proud to have helped so many members achieve their fitness goals and also reach goals they never thought possible!” She recounts stories of members who were initially nervous about joining the gym but have since competed in fitness events. The sense of community and the friendships formed at The Shredquarters are also sources of great pride for Laura and her team.
