Story
The Fitness Factory is a brand new, state of the art training facility located in Port Glasgow. It is owned by personal trainers Gary Pettigrew and Chris Millar.
One of the main objectives with this facility is to give back to the local community and an opportunity to do so presented itself when The Haven Kilmacolm drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre reached out to TFF to provide a 10 week course for its residents.
The aim of this course was to provide a training experince to help show the clients the positive effects that training can have on an individual’s lifestyle when dealing with addiction.. The response has been fantastic and the effort from all the guys has been outstanding.
The Haven Kilmalcolm is now in the process of having a small in house gym built for residents, and we here at TFF want to help. Both Chris, Gary, family members and TFF clients will be doing a charity hill walk up Conic hill on September 18th in aid of raising funds.
Having worked personally with the guys from the Haven Kilmalcolm we see how genuine, honest and kind hearted they are.
All of them are trying their utmost to put the past behind them and build a better future for themselves and their families. As some of our own family members have struggled with addiction in the past its a subject close to our hearts.
