Family to open gym for all abilities and ages in Prestatyn
Rosalind Morris, Senior Sister and Emergency Nurse Practitioner in A&E at Glan Clwyd Hospital, and her husband Alan, an Emergency Ambulance Practitioner based at Rhyl Ambulance Station, are taking a new direction with the launch of a general fitness gym that caters to all ages and abilities.
They're joined in the venture by Alan's son (Rosalind's stepson) Ruairidh Morris and his partner Emily Campbell, both of whom are qualified personal trainers and gym instructors.
The gym will specialise in Hyrox fitness and offer a wide range of services including:
Women's only sessions
Pregnancy and antenatal fitness classes plus postnatal fitness
Support individuals with mental health needs
Rosalind said: "We are going to be a general fitness gym that specialises in Hydrox fitness. We will be open to all ages and abilities and will be keen to develop classes and programmes for every level and ability.
Rosalind has worked at Glan Clwyd Hospital for 36 years.
Alan worked for the MoD for 23 years before moving onto his Emergency Ambulance Practitioner role.

It is hoped the gym can boast treatment rooms that will offer private physiotherapy, sports massage and nutrition (to be confirmed).
Asked about how plans are progressing for the gym, Rosalind said: "Absolutely fabulous. The flooring is set to arrive this week and the equipment is arriving in early July."
Rosalind added: "Ruairidh and Emily, who are personal trainers, are going to be doing the majority when it comes to the gym and myself and Alan will be there on our days off.
"It is time for a change. I've done 36 years in Glan Clwyd and 33 years in A&E. We are going to see how it goes [in terms of our full-time jobs] and play it by ear.
"With the gym, we want to do women's only, antenatal, postnatal. It is going to specialise in Hydrox fitness which is very popular at the moment."
The gym is set to open this summer.
Prestatyn Business Park was formerly a base for Kwik Save. The ex-vandalism hotspot, on Warren Drive, has been transformed into a first-class space for employment use by James Industrial Limited.
