Pure Recovery and Strength
Pure Recovery and Strength
Two empty industrial units in Okehampton have been completely transformed to offer a non-judgmental exercise environment for all.
The brains behind the creation is Okehampton resident Chris Knott. A man passionate about anything and everything sport, Chris has turned his passion into a career and opened his brand-new business called Pure Recovery and Strength.
Based in the brand new A30 business centre in Okehampton, Chris is the first business in the complex to be open to the public, completely transforming what was two empty industrial units into an incredible space!
Chris, 29, said: ‘I have always been heavily involved with local sport ranging from playing rugby for Devon as a U18, a competitive cyclist, and Thai boxing. In more recent years I’ve been focused on my first love - strength training and I am now a Strongman competitor.
‘My love for all thing sport and fitness found me taking a career path into exercise class instructing over 12 years ago and, in that time, my personal development grew adding personal training and sports therapy to the armoury dealing with all aspects of injuries, personal goals and achievements.’
Chris’ new studio facilitates four treatment rooms for treating a wide range of issues - chronic pain, injuries, mobility issues, massage, sports therapy. The other half of the business is an all singing and dancing fitness studio.
One of his smaller private spaces is non-judgemental - it has no mirrors, no large windows and has been created to make a space where everyone will feel comfortable and be able to enjoy exercise together with like-minded people.
‘I have introduced strength training classes for woman and have been the first person in the town to run Okehampton’s first ever Strongman / Strongwoman’s class. I have just started taking bookings from local teams who want to take part in classes using my unique equipment.
‘I opened this business to be able to help and support locals, help with confidence, help with health physically and mentally, and support local sports teams as they gave me so much enjoyment over the years.
‘I am a local who has built a business for locals.’
