The People Behind Move

The faces you'll
always see

Move Ilkley is built on real relationships. We're a small team — and that's entirely intentional. When you walk through our door, you'll always be greeted by someone who knows your name, your goals, and where you're at.

Jess is one of the driving forces behind Move Ilkley — she brought the vision, the warmth, and the relentless enthusiasm that makes this place what it is.

[Jess — this is your space. Tell people a little about your background, what got you into fitness, what you love about coaching, and what people can expect from working with you. Keep it warm and personal — just like you are in person.]

Co-Owner & Coach
Mollie

Mollie co-founded Move Ilkley with a clear belief: that fitness should feel good, fit around your life, and be something you actually look forward to.

[Mollie — over to you. What's your story? What drew you to coaching, what are you passionate about, and what can people expect when they train with you? Write it like you'd say it to someone who just walked in for the first time.]

What We Believe

Built on the right values

Move Ilkley exists because we believe fitness should be accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable — not punishing, intimidating, or one-size-fits-all.

We're proud of the community we've built here, and we never take it for granted.

🤝
Community over competition
Everyone at Move is on their own journey. We celebrate every step — first class, first pull-up, first return after having a baby.
🎯
Quality coaching, every session
Small classes mean you always get proper attention. We'd rather do fewer sessions well than pack out a room.
🌿
Movement for real life
Fitness here is about feeling strong, capable, and energised — not punishing yourself or chasing a number on a scale.
💛
A genuinely warm welcome
We know walking into a new gym can feel daunting. We work hard to make sure Move never feels like that.
