’ve seen the fitness and sports sectors from a lot of angles,” explains Hamilton. “I was a fulltime football player until I was released due to injury, then entered the fitness industry and worked in a council gym for six years. From there I went self-employed and worked out of my converted garage for five years. I always knew I wanted to open a studio, and used those years to save up every penny.” The gym’s name hints at the driving force behind Louis’s hard work. Hamilton lost his father, much-loved football player Neville Hamilton, shortly before his 18th birthday. An annual sporting award dedicated to him is given for community events or remarkable achievements in sport. Hamilton’s Honour was created to continue the Hamilton family’s dedication to community fitness. “It’s been hard work with lots of challenges,” says Hamilton. “But I never stopped working towards

Giving back is a big theme for Hamilton and his team. Even before the studio had officially opened, he had leveraged the gym’s social media to raise over £1,400 for British Heart Foundation in memory of his father.
Home-feel Hamilton’s Honour offers the highest standard of service and facilities in a welcoming, home-feel studio.

There’s an Olympic lifting area, a cardio zone (with Excite Live Run), a HIIT and functional area
