Lush Smoothie in Buckley to focus on health and wellbeing
In 2020, under the covid pandemic, Kat Jones launched Aspire to Inspire mobile fitness company.
Over 12 months later, she opened a women's-only gym by the same name, in Buckley town centre. The Aspire to Inspire 24-hour gym now has 190 members.
This weekend the 40-year-old, who is also a menopause coach, is opening her latest venture, Lush Smoothie.

Located upstairs above Aspire to Inspire on Brunswick Road, the smoothie bar will have natural goodness at its heart.
Kat said: "It's about promoting health and wellbeing, offering a healthier alternative to the people of Buckley.
"It is all made fresh, using natural products, and can be tailored to individual requirements too, such as no nut products.
"As well as fresh fruits and vegetables, we have collagen, a variety of honeys and selection of milks.

"We hope to bring some seasonal editions to the menu throughout the year too."
As well as the smoothies, such as Detox Delight (spinach, apple, celery, lemon and ginger) and Hormone Harmony (mixed berries, Greek yoghurt, chia seeds, maca powder and coconut water), Lush Smoothie will offer 'wellness shots', including Immunity (carrot, ginger, turmeric, pepper and orange).
Over a series of feedback from taster events, Kat has managed to help pin down recipes that have great flavours and texture, as well as offering value for money.
Lush Smoothie, which includes 'chill space' area with seating, opens officially on Saturday (May 31) at 8am.

Michael Mosley's family sets up research fund in his memory
Mosley, who died aged 67 while on holiday with his wife Dr Clare Bailey Mosley on the Greek island of Symi last year, was known for popularising diets and fronting science programmes. A new clinical research fellowship will be established in partnership with King's College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation (CDRF) to help improve the nation's metabolic health. Mosley's wife, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, said: 'Michael was most proud of the work that he did in helping people to improve their metabolic health. 'It is increasingly clear that improving metabolic health decreases your risk of multiple chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, reducing blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer and more. 'The Mosley family are thrilled that this fellowship will continue in his name to improve so many people's lives.' The Mosleys have been working with King's College London and the CDRF, who will administer the Michael Mosley Memorial Research Fund, to appoint a dedicated research scientist. The researcher will work directly with patients in hospitals and healthcare settings to discover the challenges they face, and determine the most practical changes that can improve metabolic health. Professor Tim Spector, medical director of the CDRF and professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London, said: 'Michael was a dear friend and we shared a passion for sharing knowledge to help people lead healthier, happier lives for longer. 'The funds raised for the fellow will embody his spirit, translating cutting-edge metabolic research from the lab to hospital wards, directly benefiting patients.'
