“Three years ago we moved overseas due to business opportunities abroad. In that time the gym has been operating in management,” he said.
“The decision to close was not taken lightly however we felt it was time to move on from the beautiful Territory and focus on other areas. We are very grateful to have been able to help so many Territorians and shape the functional fitness scene that is today.”
Mr Southwick said he hoped participants at his gym continue with their fitness and pushed for good health and wellbeing in the community.
“I have every faith in our community, that they will continue my life’s work in the Territory focusing on holistic, natural remedies of health and will push the agenda of personal responsibility of one’s health for a healthy NT.”
Mr Southwick said the Northern Territory was still in need of assistance when it came to fitness and wellbeing.
