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.
