A Family Legacy, A Community Hub, and a Space Built to Welcome Everyone!
Marshside Health Club has always been more than a gym. For owner Paul and his family, it represents decades of dedication, growth, and genuine community spirit. What began as a small pool project over twenty-four years ago has evolved into a warm, inclusive health club where members are treated like extended family — and where every individual is welcomed, supported, and encouraged on their fitness journey.
The club’s history is deeply personal. Paul built the original pool while working as a joiner at the local hospital. After being asked by a cleaner to teach her to swim, he discovered a passion for coaching and went on to complete every qualification available, from Levels 1–3 to Aqua Fit and Mother & Baby. His father helped him build the facility, making its foundations even more meaningful. Over time, Marshside became a place where his children grew up, learned, and eventually stepped into the business themselves.
Today, that next generation is helping shape the club’s future. Holly’s vision is rooted in inclusivity — ensuring Marshside is accessible to everyone, from dedicated fitness enthusiasts to those simply looking to join a Monday aerobics class. Her passion for swimming and years of competitive experience drive her commitment to teaching others and helping them feel safe and confident in the water.
Across the entire team, the atmosphere remains the same: friendly, authentic, and community-driven. Staff describe Marshside as a second home, a place where conversations last beyond the class, and where people leave feeling better than when they arrived. It’s a club built on sincerity rather than flash — honest, transparent, and grounded in care.
Looking forward, Paul hopes his children will continue the club with the same values it was built on: honesty, sincerity, and accessibility. Holly hopes to maintain the family feel while giving her dad the chance to step back and enjoy more time with the family. And the wider team envision a future where Marshside continues to thrive while staying true to its roots.
A Long-Standing Partnership Built on Trust...
For decades, Marshside Health Club has relied on Jordan Fitness equipment — from strength kit to functional accessories and free weights. Paul describes Jordan as reliable, trustworthy, and consistent in quality, with equipment that stands the test of time. New additions blend seamlessly with older pieces, highlighting the durability and craftsmanship behind the brand.
We’re incredibly proud to support Marshside Health Club with a wide range of Jordan kit and to play a small role in the story of a family-run club that has impacted so many lives.
Their commitment to their members mirrors our own commitment to building equipment that lasts.
Here’s to the next 25 years of Marshside — and the community that continues to shape it.
