#073 James Calderbank | The Transform Hub | Tim Marner® Podcast Show

After dedicating 7 years to helping people as a personal trainer and coach, James Calderbank turned his childhood dream into reality in 2018 by opening his very own gym, The Transform Hub in Preston.

At Transform Hub, they bring a fresh and exciting approach to well-being. They provide solid advice on eating right and making positive changes in your life, all while making exercise enjoyable and effective. James's dedication to transforming lives through fitness earned him the remarkable UK wide Federation of Small Businesses Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2018, and that was just the beginning.

With subsequent awards like the Red Rose Awards and Lancashire Business Awards, Transform Hub's impact continued to grow, earning them recognition as a finalist in the esteemed National Fitness Awards.

However, James understood that he couldn't achieve this alone. Drawing inspiration from one of his former clients, Wendy Barker, he invited her to join his mission. Wendy was captivated by the empowering and supportive atmosphere at The Transform Hub, a refreshing departure from her previous gym experiences. Leveraging her business acumen, she embraced the role of Chief Operating Officer, recognising the incredible potential of the Transform Hub model. Joining the team in 2019, fitness marketing expert Justin Devonshire added another layer of expertise as a director.

Together, this dynamic trio reshaped Transform Hub into a franchise business, setting an audacious goal to establish 100 locations across the UK by 2025. This isn't just their vision; it's a shared aspiration among The Transform Hub family.

Their mission is resoundingly clear: to empower busy individuals to completely transform their lives. No more quick fix diets, no more wasted time on ineffective workouts, and no more squandered gym memberships. The Transform Hub is the place where dreams are nurtured, where lives are changed, and where the journey to a better self begins.
