The Bourne Fitness Community Grows Stronger

Nathan Bourne and his dedicated team are building more than a fitness class—they’re building a movement rooted in community. Recognised as Wandsworth’s Business Owner of the Year 2024 and with Bourne Fitness shortlisted for Best Micro Business at the Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce Awards. This year, they’re proud to be three-time finalists—a reflection of the powerful, growing community they’ve created.

health and wellbeing journeys too. A commitment to improving member’s health and wellbeing is at the core of Bourne Fitness. Holistic wellbeing, and particularly the interaction between physical and mental health, is something that has been personally significant to me and I wanted Bourne Fitness to reflect this. Thankfully, I was able to make the leap to running Bourne Fitness full time sooner than I had planned to and I left the finance industry behind me (or so I thought). I dusted off my business degree and became an expert in all things essential to getting Bourne Fitness where it is today: data analysis, marketing, administration, operations, HR, customer service and…finance!
