A NEW fitness studio with a £5,000 piece of equipment from Down Under has opened in Willington High Street.
The Fit for You Studio has imported a quad-crossover machine from New Zealand, which uses weights and pulleys to work most of the muscles in the body.
Fit For You owners Tracy and Phil Cordell, from Chester-le-Street, opened the studio after moving to the North-East three years ago.
Mr Cordell, 41, said: "Some of the equipment we have had delivered has caused interest with the locals, especially our quad-crossover, brought in from New Zealand, which affected the traffic flow on the A690 road for two hours last week."
He and his wife, 35, are both trained life coaches and offer advice on healthy living and diets.
Mr Cordell said: "The Fit For You studio is designed to help people in all areas of their life, not just physical fitness, but with eating habits and lifestyle too."
